Iranian military leaders said their oil tankers would reach the Caribbean in the coming days. In response, the U.S. Navy has already deployed several ships to the area.

I still can't make out what those things are on deck
Who is buying this heavy sulfur crude?
While our economy falls apart and our border is still open to h1b candidates to take American young people’s jobs, Pompeos priority is far away Venezuala. Let’s start a war there!
You’d think we were still living under Bush and Cheney with their neocon mania for starting regime-change wars in distant countries. Instrad of an America First policy of protecting America’s borders and bringing US manufacturing back to America
CITGO is majority-owned by PDVSA, a state-owned company of the Venezuelan government.
Not sure what they’re actually called, but the lines when they tie off to the pier go through those so they don’t get tangled or cut on sharp edges. The spoils of line are right behind them.

They must be getting close. they were only 48 hours away a day or two ago.

I wish Pompeo has been a tenth concerned about China and the virus which has posed a mortal threat to our economy as he is about impoverished weak no-threat Venezuala.

neocons want another war I see
I’ll bet they get “blowed up real good” when they’re empty and full of fumes.
Last time I checked, Trump is doing more than any president ever to protect our borders and bring manufacturing back to America.
OK....... I see that now. They are not cargo

Venezuela imports because of deferred maintenance issues and sharks with lasers sabotaging vital components.
Gun running
The signs say Death To America?
President Trump certainly has his hands full. ....
