Moment U.S. forces seized massive oil tanker off Venezuela

“As you probably know, we’ve just seized a tanker on the coast of Venezuela,” Trump said. “Large tanker, very large, largest one ever seized actually.”

Imagine what might transpire in the Strait of Hormuz if the mullahs get in a twist.

[nitzy]

In what possible scenario could it be in their interest to escalate?

Didn't the escalation just occur?

If we are going to start confiscating their ships, what other recourse do they have? There was a reason we haven't been doing this the whole time.

I pray you are right and we have them so dominated that retaliation isn't an option. We'll see.

Has Rand Paul denounced this as a war crime yet?

You just cost me $20. My first tanker was a small T2 (16000 ton). I was looking for the specs on it to show you size and came across an ebay photo of it (1971) for sale.

I think it falls under the umbrella of what we did to the Barbary pirates.

As I recall we sank half of their navy and 3 of their oil platforms the last time they tried that. I dare them to try again. Google “Operation Praying Mantis”.

Did the Houthi attack on shipping raise shipping rates?

[kvanbrunt2]

It’s crude with a high sulfur content, not many places can refine it.

[catnipman]

Yea! actual enforcement of sanctions!!! ...

[Cold Heart]

Yes, pump it into our reserves. Trump did say we were keeping the oil.

[FlingWingFlyer]

Turn the “hijacked Wreckedship sailors” over to the RAT Senate Pedos, especially the homos like Kelly, Gaylego, Crazy Bobby the Gay Peruvian Garcia, Fang Fang’s Swillwall, Schumer and Schiffty Shiff to be used at their private bunk mates.

[Gasshog]

Yeah pump that jazz straight into our Strategic Reserve baby!

[Spacetrucker]

Valero in Corpus Christi refines high sulfur just fine. Only problem is, high sulfur means high H2S content, and most refineries just arent getting that in as much.

:: It’s crude with a high sulfur content ::

IIRC, it has a high level of “heavy ends”, too. Not much ‘light’ refined products like kerosene, gasoline, diesel, heating oil.

Tanker has been on the sanctioned list for years. Seizure hits Maduro hard.

Yep.

Our roads could use some repair.

Tar baby, tar!

[bert]

We can assume that the siezure of the sanctioned vessel was accomplished after a warrant was issued by a judge

[Svartalfiar]

I think “massive” is implied in “oil tanker.”

Is it though? Have you not seen the shipping ship that ships shipping ships?
