Talk to me like I'm a six- year old.

We seized a Venezualan tanker ship. How do we have the right to do that? It sounds to me like an act of war. WTH?

[doc03]

1. Because we are Merkans

2. I think it's an act of piracy, Trump has no idea what he's gonna do with it

8. It IS an act of piracy---

plain and simple, clear as the cankles on his legs.

3. Has anyone asked why?

[jonstl08]

12. They had a warrant

For some reason I cannot understand they had a warrant to seize the ship. They said it was smuggling oil from Iran which I cannot understand since Venezuela has it;s own oil so why need Iran's.

14. I guess we got a quit trying to make sense of anything. Trump does. He's a madman.

4. Now we must start asking...

Who seized the ship?…Was it legal?….Who gave the orders? If the orders were not legal and they were followed by the american military what are the consequences?….Is this now considered an Act of War against Venezuela?

5. Justified by the EDA.

Epstein Distraction Act.

Since you are 6 years old, I can't fully explain that, nor use the kind of language it deserves.

6. Because you are six (my, aren't you cute), you are too young to understand ...

how craven a government can be.

But, if I had to explain it in terms your young mind would understand, it's because I want it.

7. I heard one news story that said a judge issued a warrant

I keep waiting for fuller, deeper dive news story but haven’t seen it. Honestly was more focused on fact they had no trouble seizing a tanker without loss of life but they can’t seize a small boat.

9. An important point. The only viable explanation is...

That "Pisshole Pete" Kegbreath wanted to show he could kill people he didn't like.

10. We don't have the right. How can we seize a huge tanker ship

without firing one shot, but a little speedboat powered by outboard motors requires missiles?

[cachukis]

11. There are reports the ship beamed different

coordinates than the satellite imagery.
It had been sanctioned in 2022 for trying to escape scrutiny.
The Venezuelan oil is not really suitable for our refineries. It was seized in Caribbean. Don't know its heading.

[Fiendish Thingy]

13. They got a court to issue a warrant

And claimed the oil was headed to countries like Iran that sponsor terrorism.

So, not as black and white as the attacks on the fishing boats.

15. What is the next thing that the US has been allow this mad man to get away with?
