AMERICAN WARSHIPS FORCIBLY SEIZE SECOND OIL TANKER in a SHOCKING midnight raid off the coast of Venezuela, escalating Trump’s “total blockade” to BRINK-OF-WAR levels. Eyewitnesses describe a HOSTILE TAKEOVER by elite U.S. Coast Guard commandos, backed by U.S. Navy firepower, in what critics are calling an act of INTERNATIONAL PIRACY.
This RARE and AGGRESSIVE action, unseen since 2014, marks a DANGEROUS new chapter where the United States is now ACTIVELY confiscating sovereign assets on the high seas. The seizure is a direct and BRAZEN enforcement of President Donald Trump’s unilateral decree—a move that FLATTENS diplomatic norms and dares other global powers to intervene.
