Venezuela - US Conflict: News, Updates

[东风夜放花千树]

According to an exclusive report by Reuters today citing sources, after seizing the first oil tanker, the United States is preparing to seize more tankers off the coast of Venezuela.

Trump was interviewed by Fox News on the 11th, Eastern Time. When asked by a reporter whether U.S. actions toward Venezuela had shifted from controlling 'drug trafficking' to 'oil' after the U.S. seized a tanker, Trump did not give a direct answer.

With this latest piece of fake news from the American government, it's clear that the Zionist lobby is behind this event.

Can US legally seize a oil tanker in international water?

Depends on the flag that flew on that tanker, and also depends on where the tanker is seized. Because the flag country hosts the tanker, which means that if the tanker is in high seas, the tanker is treated as the territory of the flag country.

Obviously within 12 nm of Venezuela, seizing a tanker inside Venezuela territories is the same as an act of war.

Outside 12 nm but within 220 nm or within the contiguous zone and EEZ, then it's a bit cloudy, because the universal jurisdiction started to come into play. If you can prove that the ship is engaging in piracy or a security risk to nearby shipping, anyone can seize that ship. Also, if that ship did not fly any flag, it can be seized by anyone because that falls into piracy.

On the other hand, if the flag state has some sort of enforcement agreement with the US, US Military can also seize that ship once outside 220 nm

I didn't know that drug traffickers had entered the oil export business as well.

This is new to me.

Is there any reason for U.S to invade Venezuela ? Other than oil ? Do they think the Chinese can build major influence there ?

The reasons are the same as always. Oil and the need to feed the MIC monster. Zionists are also annoyed at this region because many Latin American countries were diplomatically active against Israel in Gaza.

The only difference is American elites are not bothering to provide the propaganda anymore, like Iraq back in 2003.

I spent 33 years in the Marines most of my time being a
high-class muscle man for big business, for Wall Street and
the bankers. In short, I was a racketeer for Capitalism.

WAR IS A RACKET

Why don’t those damned oil companies fly their own flags on
their personal property—maybe a flag with a gas pump on it.

—Brigadier General Smedley D. Butler, 1937


WAR IS A RACKET

AMENDMENT FOR PEACE

AMENDMENT FOR PEACE
Major General Smedley D. Butler
(Originally printed in Woman's Home Companion, September, 1936.)

I PROPOSE an Amendment for Peace, to the Constitution of the
United States:

1. The removal of members of the land armed forces from within the continental limits of the United States and the Panama Canal Zone for any cause whatsoever is prohibited.

2. The vessels of the United States Navy, or of the other branches of the armed service, are hereby prohibited from steaming, for any reason whatsoever except on an errand of mercy, more than five hundred miles from our coast.

3. Aircraft of the Army, Navy and Marine Corps is hereby prohibited from flying, for any reason whatsoever, more than seven
hundred and fifty miles beyond the coast of the United States.

Such an amendment would be absolute guarantee to the women of America that their loved ones never would be sent overseas to be needlessly shot down in European or Asiatic or African wars that are no concern of our people.
SUCH an amendment, linked with adequate naval and military
defenses at home, would guarantee everlasting peace to our nation.





"I believe in adequate defense at the coastline and nothing else. If a nation comes over here to fight, then we'll fight. The trouble with America is that when the dollar only earns 6 percent over here, then it gets restless and goes overseas to get 100 percent. Then the flag follows the dollar and the soldiers follow the flag."

— Smedley D. Butler, USMC 1933

In the history of United States foreign policy, the Roosevelt Corollary was an addition to the Monroe Doctrine articulated by President Theodore Roosevelt in his 1904 State of the Union Address, largely as a consequence of the Venezuelan crisis of 1902–1903. The corollary states that the United States could intervene in the internal affairs of Latin American countries if they committed flagrant wrongdoings that "loosened the ties of civilized society".
