Guys, I know that many of you are very much anti Trump. Still I would like to ask you to keep critique on the US administration strictly to the role they are playing in the war between Russia and the Ukraine. Issues with other countries like Venezuela are not part of this thread.
Also I would like to ask you guys to keep things respectful.
Calling leaders "Joker" or similar names does not invite to open debate. If anything it just polarises things.

AIUI, this seizure was not legally piracy because the ship that has been seized has been itself sanctioned for participating in helping Iran and -- wait for it -- Russia violate sanctions on the two nations. It seems to be in accordance with international law.

Of course that's not saying that it was a wise move, or that our current Administration is not using international law as a fig-leaf to cover what is clearly an attempt to ratchet up pressure on Venezuela in an attempt to perpetrate either a war itself or the ouster of a foreign government.

I'm just saying that the action itself is prima facie legal.

The other issue is that the vessel isn't state-registered which means it is not protected by international maritime laws.

I would LOVE to see similar action being taken by the US against Russia's ghost fleet...but I also fully expect my hopes to be unfulfilled.

Some interesting observations on the impact of Trump walking away from Ukraine and/or NATO. The second one is emphasised by the recent significant issues with the cancellation of the Constellation Class.

While much of the content in the first video is correct the actual video shows all the hallmarks of 100% AI content. Some of the content is more than suspect. The most significant suspect item is I can find absolutely no evidence that the European Defence Union exists.

On the other hand a lot of the content is still 100% correct.

The second video had a number of items I thought were suspect but all of those I checked out were correct.
