Off Venezuela.

Fundamental questions.

1:  What Country/Nation flag was the tanker flying ?

2: What was the intel on what the tanker was shipping ?

 (Outside of some oil)

(Which is most certainly classified info)

Would it really be that surprising to discover the tanker was transporting oil under false pretenses?

“The oil tanker Skipper, seized by the U.S. off Venezuela for allegedly moving sanctioned Iranian oil, was falsely flying the flag of Guyana, which is not registered in Guyana and is a violation of maritime rules. Guyana's maritime authority confirmed the unauthorized use of its flag, noting a trend of vessels using false flags to evade sanctions, with the tanker digitally spoofing its location to appear near Guyana at the time.”

And nobody really believes those are fishing boats traveling at high speed across the ocean. Everyone knows what they are.

The questions I have are one, will grabbing this tanker prevent oil from being transported where we and other nations of the world don’t want to go? And two, after blowing up these boats, is there any evidence yet that we have we cut into the drug supply in the US?
