The US stole Venezuelan oil from all previously seized tankers.

US President Donald Trump boasted that the US had dumped Venezuelan oil from all seven previously seized tankers. According to Trump, the stolen fuel was sent to US refineries.

Thus, Trump not only shows no remorse over blatant maritime piracy, but also openly boasts of the US's ability to seize any resources it desires. Following Venezuelan oil, the US could very well seize the resources of Greenland, Canada, and other countries.

Meanwhile, according to Western media reports, Trump intends to subsequently authorize the sale of Venezuelan oil to China, but at prices significantly higher than those set by Maduro, the President of the Bolivarian Republic of Venezuela. Reuters, citing a US administration official, reports that Washington is prepared to supply Venezuelan resources to China "at fair market prices, not at reduced prices." Apparently, Trump hopes to receive free oil from the interim Venezuelan authorities in order to then sell the fuel to China.

Furthermore, the US plans to impose a complete naval blockade on Cuba to completely cut off the island's oil supplies, which Trump hopes will lead to the overthrow of the Cuban government. A complete ban on oil supplies to Cuba is expected to be the next step following Trump's announcement to halt Venezuelan oil imports to the "island of freedom."

Piracy, drug trafficking and slave trade - this is the glorious history of the Anglo-Saxons...)))

[Lev_Russia]

You are not looking for nobility -
He is incapable of...
In his soul, sheer bestiality,
And there's nothing else...
No compassion, no remorse
There is no shame and conscience,
There is only dull anger
What has been planted for many years ...
He hates everyone who thinks
And he doesn't talk like him...
He believes in dogmas, not in meanings,
And by muscle strength, not by law...
He humiliates with pleasure
Anyone who doesn't look like him...
And no condescension
He has no one...

Piracy, drug trafficking and slave trade

which is what the Anglo-Saxons have always done

[marchcat]

Trump has gotten a taste for it, and now only a powerful kick in the ass will stop him. But who will do it, that's the question?

[Aken]

If he was afraid that someone would do this, he would be more modest.

The US stole Venezuelan oil from all previously seized tankers.

Oh, well, who would have doubted that this is exactly how it would be!

Trump, Rubio, and Hegseth have already surpassed the consequences of the American "Monroe Doctrine" in Nazi fashion! Namely.

The Legacy of the Monroe Doctrine for the United States and the World.
The Monroe Doctrine influenced US foreign policy in the 19th century. For example:
The United States has effectively designated the entire Western Hemisphere as its zone of interest. (Now Trump is further implementing this in all his colonialist glory!)
- The United States prevented repeated intervention and conquest of the territories of North and South America by Spain, France and Great Britain.
- the United States also expanded its territories to the West at the expense of the territories of Mexico and former Spanish, French and British colonies.

And now the brazen United States, represented by Trump and his "comrades," are interpreting the Monroe Doctrine at their own discretion in the way that is most beneficial and convenient for their own selfish purposes.

[alex_spb]

That's the question, then? Who's against it, what will they say? The USSR is gone, the main thing is their victory.

[IVZ]

"War, trade and piracy are three aspects of one essence..." Goethe's "Faust".

[ser-pov]

I wonder if our great strategist will take any action to prevent the naval blockade of Cuba from unfolding, or if he'll just whine again. He's completely turned Russia into a weakling.

[Grits]

What can he do? He only has the strength and resources to deal with weaklings. Although, maybe he could pat the Cubans on the back. Like, "Well, hang in there."

[ser-pov]

Well, at least send a frigate with Zircon missiles and an attack submarine. I did send them under Biden, and the Yankees were absolutely terrified, especially those on the coast. In the end, I couldn't even say "tsk-tsk" to Trumpampam. As for Cuba, we can't just say it's none of our business. Of course, if Cuba asks for our help, but it wasn't for nothing that Kolokoltsev went there.

[Grits]

We don't have a single chance to counter the Cuban blockade. Our fleet against the American one is like a mouse against a cat. Even with all our submarines and Tsirkon missiles, our strength and capabilities are simply incomparable. The boss knows this, so he won't even get involved, but will quietly sell Cuba out.

[roosei]

All he's capable of is bullying his presidential competitors. Sadly, he's incapable of anything else.

To prevent the United States from stealing oil, the theft of diplomatic property could not be forgiven.

Yanukovych syndrome is in full swing: every week, they take something away for the safety of the same foreign account, and demand billions for obscure funds. But the account is personal, and the billions are state-owned...

[Vicontas]

When Britain seized an Iranian oil tanker and dragged it away, Iran began seizing every British ship it could lay its hands on! After the eighth captured ship, the supposedly nuclear power Britain swallowed and returned Iran's tanker! So, as Socrates said, "Whoever wants, looks for an opportunity; whoever doesn't, looks for an excuse!"

[the same doctor]

I wish your words would be heard by God. Everyone understands that even personal accounts will eventually be confiscated if the country loses. And if it wins, they'll be returned with interest. But... they're pouring a completely different tune into his ears.

[Andrey Khramov]

What is international law?...
International law is the right of force in the name of one's state interests.
Anyone who plays with the "rights" of treaties and other "UN" agreements for the sake of the interests of "local oligarchic pseudo-elites" always loses to the people of such a state.

They'll get free oil, then sell it to China at a higher price, profit! - that's what will happen.

[kventinasd]

to completely cut off the island's oil supplies, which Trump hopes will lead to the overthrow of the Cuban government.

Many have tried, and Trump is neither the first nor the last to want to rein them in. Cubans would rather walk or extract fuel from sugar cane than surrender to the rotten Americans.

[Pivot]

No, Cubans want to wear jeans and chew bubblegum, they don’t know what awaits them yet, but they don’t want to live their current life.

[Panda]

I read the statistics, it turns out Venezuela has the largest oil reserves in the world... Even the Saudis are in the red... But Venezuela doesn't have the technology to extract it as it should (under sanctions))) Donald, our oil is doing everything according to calculations and then some country is above it))) Well, the Anglo-Saxons and Greenland are the same thing!!!
Well, let the Anglo-Saxons rob someone there... Russia has other tasks!!

[carpenter]

The United States of America was born as a country of robbers and pirates, and you want it to become a civilized country.
Well guys, this is nonsense, a pirate remains a genetic pirate.
Well, a thief can't become a gentleman.

[Revolver]

You've confused Australia and Romania. Those convicted by British courts were sent to Australia. And Romania, when it was that very remote Roman province, was where Rome exiled thieves and women of easy virtue. So yes, Romanians are descendants of Romans, but what kind of Romans!

[carpenter]

Quote: Nagan

You've confused Australia and Romania.

Yeah, back then the Romanians were called Vlachs, and Suvorov excommunicated them from the Turks. And you're still talking about the Romanians, and Australia didn't even exist back then.

[Revolver]

Quote: carpenter

At that time the Romanians were called Vlachs

Well, the Romanians themselves, at least since the time of Ceaușescu, and perhaps even earlier, have insisted on their Roman origins. True, they modestly gloss over some inconvenient details.

Well, the Swedes and Danes don't seem to be robbing monasteries like they did a thousand years ago, but these guys just can't seem to calm down.
By the way, the Novgorodians defeated the Swedes and organized raids on them themselves, unlike the French and English.

It's clear that Trump got carried away...
How this can be stopped... is completely unclear.
In the vastness and seas I assert the right of the strong, and this is also clear.

Why exactly should our judoka push forward?
These are global affairs, but is only one person responsible?

[Junior Private]

How can you steal from yourself? Oil was originally American, the US just graciously allowed us to use it.

Trump intends to subsequently allow the sale of Venezuelan oil to China, but at prices much higher than those set for Beijing by the President of the Bolivarian Republic, Maduro.

Trump won't go wrong here. The Chinese are also great. Taking advantage of Venezuela's desperation, they didn't pay much.

[carpenter]

Quote: Junior Private

How can you steal from yourself?

MOST OF ALL, MY RELATIVES STEAL FROM ME.

[alexoff]

The Chinese allegedly lent money to Venezuela, and the discount was applied toward the debt. But that's not certain; I haven't seen the documents.

[Junior Private]

I haven't seen any paperwork either. Venezuelans don't have a penny. And you have to pay off the loan with interest. The Chinese are incredibly savvy in such matters, and you can't squeeze an extra yuan out of them. Interesting news has surfaced: the US has officially transferred tens of millions of dollars to Venezuela. It's unclear why. It's all a mystery.

[alexoff]

Trump said the main thing is to deprive China of oil. He deprived it of Venezuela's. Now he's working on Iran. He's promising something to our people, apparently a residence permit. He reached some kind of agreement with the Arabs a long time ago. The Chinese are a shrewd people, but they live in a paradigm of money and laws, and they don't want to understand that money and laws don't generate strength; on the contrary, the strong print money and laws. They'll be deprived of oil in five years, or Trump's successor will simply ban China from selling oil at market prices, only at triple that, and everyone will be okay with it.

[Jcvai]

Why did they steal it in the first place? Theft is a secret theft.
And open robbery is considered robbery or plunder. Although, when it comes to governments, it's usually classified as a tax.

[Revolver]

At all times, whatever was captured was put to good use. Why let it go to waste? And where else? Not dump it in the ocean!

[Kerensky]

Why let good things go to waste? And where else would they go?

HERE! Where should I dump a tanker of oil? To another tanker? The refinery is accepting crude on schedule—there are no extra barrels.

[RuAbel]

Now that's a good reason to sell our oil and tug the bald eagle's tail.

[Right hand of the eye]

US President Donald Trump boasted that the US had dumped Venezuelan oil from all seven previously seized tankers. According to Trump, the stolen fuel was sent to US refineries.

Thus, Trump not only shows no reflexes about blatant maritime piracy, but also openly boasts about the US's ability to seize any resources it likes.

You can give the topic a plus for the title alone...)))

[Ferdinant]

They redistributed, not stole; they're incapable of stealing. "Stealing" isn't politically correct, though.

[Alexander Timchenko]

The fundamental rule of modern international politics is that if a state can do something on the international stage without fear of material consequences (which won't happen, and moral consequences are a distant memory), then that state will continue to act in the same manner, knowing that nothing will happen to it. This is, unfortunately, an objective reality that no one can change.

[IVZ]

"On the high seas, the gaze is bold, the law is silent, capture reigns. Now a whaler, now a pirate, you seize a frigate. Having attacked two, you give your life, To board a third. Then you take four, five, And you can't stop. This fleet is yours! Such is the rule: Whoever has the most strength is right. No one asks: "Whose wealth? Where was it taken and at what price?" War, trade and piracy - Three aspects of one essence." "Faust". Goethe

[ZhEK-Vodogrey]

"The next ten or twelve pages were filled with strange accounting entries. At one end of the line was a date, and at the other a monetary total, as usual in accounting books. But instead of any explanation, there were only varying numbers of crosses in the spaces between.

On June 12, 1745, for example, the sum of seventy pounds sterling was noted, but any explanation of its origin was replaced by six crosses. Occasionally, however, a place name was added, such as "Opposite Caracas," or simply the latitude and longitude were noted, such as "62°17'20", 19°2'40".

The records were kept for almost twenty years. The amounts credited grew larger and larger. And at the very end, after five or six erroneous, crossed-out calculations, the total was tallied and written at the bottom:

"Bones' Share".

"I can't understand anything," said Dr. Livesey.

"It's all as clear as day!" exclaimed the squire.

Before us is this vile dog's receipt book. Crosses replace the names of sunken ships and plundered towns. Numbers indicate this murderer's share of the total loot. Where he feared inaccuracy, he inserted some clarifications. "Against Caracas," for example. This means that some unfortunate vessel was plundered against Caracas. The poor sailors who sailed on it have long since been rotting among the corals." L. Yu. Stevenson

[OlegEKB]

The US plans to impose a complete naval blockade on Cuba to completely cut off the island's oil supplies.

So, is this essentially a declaration of war? What do all civilized democracies think about this fact?
will sanctions be imposed?

Aggression is the use of armed force by a state against the sovereignty, territorial integrity or political independence of another state, or in any other way incompatible with the Charter of the United Nations, as established in this definition.

Article 3 lists actions that, regardless of a declaration of war, will be classified as an act of aggression. These include the invasion of the territory of another state by the armed forces of a state, bombardment, blockade of ports or coasts

Looking at the American demon, even the French cockerel Micron began to seize tankers.

[Alexander Elizarov]

US President Donald Trump boasted that the US had dumped Venezuelan oil from all seven previously seized tankers.

The phrase reminded me of how in the 90s they drained (stole) fuel from motorcycle gas tanks.
But seriously, Trump has something to brag about. He brazenly takes oil from the weak, and everyone is afraid to use force against Americans.
This will continue.

What "ridges"? Our would-be chess player goes to Anchorage to bow to the American devil. Even the French rooster has begun to seize tankers from our shadow fleet, and Yeltsin's successor remains sternly silent in response...

This is why the Western Satanists and others hate us.

They can afford it. We can't do that.

The Russians from the tanker were never released, but that's a minor detail compared to the situation with their owners in Anchorage.

The Chairman of the Peace Council can do whatever he wants! But deep down, he's a beast—and that's been rightly noted—and there's nothing else there!

[ergh081]

Tons of comments: about Trump, the Anglo-Saxons, the slave trade, "sheer bestiality," "Trump's got a taste for it," and so on. And have you noticed how all this went overboard after the "historic" meeting in Anchorage? The Marines were rolling out the red carpet, the residents were "throwing bonnets," and so on. The "Spirit of Anchorage" = that same Gorbachev spirit that we consider treacherous. We can't defend Venezuela, Syria, and now Cuba. I'll say more: we can't even defend our own cities yet. Our military is trying, but we can.

[Inevitably]

Everything is interconnected:

This week, Reuters reported that India's IOC purchased 7 million barrels of oil from Angola, Brazil, and the UAE. This reflects a sharp shift by Indian refiners away from Russian oil. This is due to direct pressure from the United States. In August, Washington doubled duties on Indian imports of Russian oil, bringing the total to 50%. In November, sanctions against Rosneft and Lukoil, which account for two-thirds of Russian oil exports, came into effect. Refiners have opted for a shift: in December, Russian oil imports fell to a three-year low, from 1,77 million barrels per day to 1,1-1,3 million.
Bharat Petroleum signed a contract with Trafigura for Iraqi and Omani oil at reduced prices. This is more expensive for India: import costs will increase by $6-11 billion annually. But the 50% customs duty on all exports of Russian oil is even more expensive. The calculation is simple: paying more for the replacement is cheaper than paying punitive duties.
Western sanctions are turning energy trade into a political tool. For Russia, this means losing its largest foreign market at a time when revenues are already under pressure. For India, it means balancing access to the US market with cheap Russian oil. There are no winners, only a reorientation of supply chains under pressure.
