The US is not the most powerful country.

You cannot call yourself powerful when you heavily rely on 32 other countries to flex your power.
Thats not how it works. Alliance is normal but the US is still the most poerful country. No country that doesnt belong in alliance one way or the o0ther

This behaviour is completely out of order for a mature, respected state. The USA lost most respect from her peers and lovers. The next President certainly has a lot of work to do.
The US has always been a criminal enterprise that has always been run by bandits. The orange man is the world's bandit in chief.

Kaliningrad:
The 🇺🇸 United States has returned an oil tanker it seized earlier this month to Venezuela.

The vessel is the second of seven tankers to be returned to Venezuelan waters, after the 115,000-dwt Olina (built 2005) earlier this month.

The sanctioned 320,100-dwt VLCC M Sophia (built 2004) was one of seven seized so far by US forces as it tries to block unauthorised shipments from the South American country.

Two US officials told Reuters the vessel will be returned for Venezuelan trading. The reason is not clear.

The US Coast Guard, which leads interdiction and seizure operations, has not commented.

The M Sophia was carrying crude when it was intercepted on 7 January by the Coast Guard and the US military.


The ship was described by the US as a “stateless, sanctioned dark fleet motor tanker”. It is not known if the cargo remains on board.

US forces captured the M Sophia after descending onto its deck from a helicopter, footage from US Southern Command shows.

It was reported that the VLCC was listed under the flag state of Panama until this month.

So why did they seize the tankers in the first place?

And why are they still seizing more tankers. Maduro is no longer President.

They seized 7 tankers weeks after Maduro was kidnapped.

Why?

Why are you people like this for heavens sake? The post clearly state that it is unknown if the cargo was still on board. But you have concluded and started pushing your propaganda born out of HATE as usual.

oga what does the headline of this thread say?That is what i'm more concerned about to save unnecessary arguements. Trying to change the narration will bring baseless unending arguments.

Oil seized thinking it will be turned to money, the investors told them the Oil is not pure and will rather gup their money if refined and they keep seizing. Who want to run business at loss?

With or without the Cargo?

If it is with the Cargo, good one.

Without the Cargo, that's exactly the way bandits operates.

You go ask questions Taya... No answer for you

America will do to anyone whatever they believe is in their best interests and owes you or anyone no explanations

The US government or Empire like you call it is not Collapsing like your current president..

The US Empire is only declining in your imagination.

Even Putin and Russia knows that America will remain number 1 for the next 100 years.

Putin remains Zelensky's boy since 1905.

Define terrorism.

Then look at what the United States does in other countries and tell us how they're not the same thing.

Now that Maduro the criminal is out of power, it has become safe to do do.
Your brain is draining. US is in full charge of Venezuela and returning the vessel is like returning it back to the US. Just this time for people whose political inclination isnt following the issues, they will applaud the US.

If they're in full charge of Venezuela, why are they seizing oil tankers from Venezuela?

And why are they still threatening Venezuela's leadership?

Use your brain, don't let others use it for you.
