Over half of Venezuela’s oil goes to China. I dunno if that’s where this was going.

After offloading the oil, they will no doubt find sealed, liquid proof canisters containing cocaine and fentanyl. Canisters were probably designed and manufactured in China. American ground intelligence in Venezuela seems to be good.

...seized a sanctioned oil tanker... Somebody catch me up. What is "sanctioned" in this context?
> "...a large tanker, very large, the largest one ever seized actually..."
Some days I can't tell a Trump quote from a satire of a Trump quote. :-)

From AI:
“A sanctioned tanker is a ship targeted by international sanctions, usually for transporting oil from sanctioned nations like Russia, Iran, or Venezuela...”

Funny word, sanctioned.
It can mean “approved”.
It can also mean declared illegal or in violation of rules.
Depends on context.

Here we go.
Up another significant notch.

Since Venezuela is an OPEC member, I await their response.
