This whole thing is super concerning. I think the US should be focusing on building relationships with other countries instead of trying to exert its influence through military action or economic sanctions. The fact that they're seizing a tanker and claiming it's about disrupting oil shipments from Venezuela and Iran just sounds like a pretext for something bigger.I'm not buying the narrative that this is just a targeted law enforcement operation. If the US really wanted to disrupt oil shipments, they could have done so through diplomatic channels or economic pressure without resorting to military action. The fact that there's been no transparency about the administration's intentions in Venezuela raises serious questions about whether we're being led down a path towards war.
It's also worth noting that the US has a history of getting involved in conflicts in Latin America and never really seeing them through to their conclusion. It feels like we're just creating more instability and chaos in the region instead of finding ways to address the root causes of problems. I think we need to be more careful about how we approach international relations and make sure that any action we take is thoughtfully considered and transparently communicated.
what's really going on here? US just seizes a tanker from Venezuela and now ppl are worried it might lead to war 
but no concrete evidence that it was actually about disrupting oil shipments for terrorist orgs... sounds like more of a power play to me 
. Don't get me wrong, I'm all for holding ppl accountable but this seems too convenient. Where's the proof? 
and btw why not just work with international partners to address terrorism instead of resorting to military ops? 
so many ppl are hating on trump for this move but im all about supporting my guy trump 
he's tryna protect us from venezuela's oil and also stop those terrorist organizations from gettin' their hands on it 
like, yeah senator coons u can talk about war but trump's just tryin to keep the country safe 
meanwhile, i'm over here cheerin for our boy trump 
Iran? Venezuela? It just seems like the US is playing with fire over here. I'm all for taking down bad guys, but this feels like a recipe for disaster. What if it escalates into something bigger? 
Have we seen enough of these regime change wars before? 
My friend's cousin's brother was in Colombia last year and said that the US military presence is getting really aggressive. Is this what they mean by "supporting foreign terrorist organizations"? 
I just don't get why we can't have a more nuanced conversation about how to deal with these situations. 
It feels like the whole thing is being done without enough input from Congress or the American people...
