At least 34 U.S.-sanctioned oil tankers with a history of carrying Venezuelan oil are currently at sea in the Caribbean, according to a new analysis obtained by CNBC on Wednesday.

          This post is about Venezuela funding the genocide in Ukraine and the US stopping Venezuela from funding the genocide in Ukraine.

            No it’s not. You’re a fucking fool if you actually believe them when they say it’s about that.

              The oil was headed to Iran and Russia. That is not up for debate. You’re a fool that is either tricked into or intentionally defending the genocide in Ukraine.

                  Since you’re spamming this comment I’ll have to copy and paste the response.

                  It was headed to Cuba when it was captured. It had already transported oil to Iran. From the article:

                  The tanker, which transported oil from Venezuela and Iran, has been sanctioned by the U.S. for years “due to its involvement in an illicit oil shipping network supporting foreign terrorist organizations,”

                  This ship was sanctioned years ago under Biden not Trump.

                  You should read the article.

                    The kind of oil extracted in Venezuela is called heavy crude, it’s not easily refined anywhere, needs some kind of special processes. IIRC a lot of it was processed in the USA itself before sanctions took place during the Deranged Orange Man’s first term.

                I’m not defending shit, I’m just telling you that you’re an idiot if you believe them when they say that’s the reason.

                Also I’ve only seen the claim about the oil going to Russia on here, if it’s indisputable, can you provide your source? Because I just googled it and it says most of Venezuela’s oil goes to China (70-80% of their exports), and the rest goes to India, Cuba and Spain/Italy.

              This post is about Venezuela supplying oil to Russia and Iran after the US sanctioned Russia and Iran for their genocide in Ukraine. The US has defended Ukraine until Trump got into office (under control of Putin).

                No, it is about the usa stealing Venezuelan oils and imposing an illegal blockade. Stop acting like the world police when you are the world biggest gang.

                Did you quickly forget how trump proposed to Ukraine a surrender plan similar to the one in Gaza?

                From your master own words. There is nothing to do with Iran and Russia https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=X11W3O9BeBA

                  Russia will not be allowed to invade other countries and commit genocide freely.

                  Militaries are the world police.

                  Trump is acting on behalf of Russia.

                  Your YouTube research is a joke. Please understand how incompetent it looks to share YouTube videos as evidence of anything.

                    You are a joke. The US has zero right to police the world, zero. You are supporting the biggest terrorist country the world ever seen responsible of the biggest numbers of coups and countries destruction.

                    Russia will not be allowed to invade other countries and commit genocide freely. Russia and the usa will not be allowed to invade other countries and commit genocide freely

                    Militaries are the world police. With your logic , Russian military also has the right to be the world police

                    Your YouTube research is a joke. Please understand how incompetent it looks to share YouTube videos as evidence of anything.

                    A video about Trump himself admitting that he want to steal Venezuelan oil is not an evidence of anything? Get out of your high horse
