Venezuelan tankers are now escorted by the Venezuelan navy, so siezure would likely have meant open war instead of normal crimes against humaniity.

The multiple near-collisions with US military jets make me think they just want to generate a Gulf of Tonkin incident first.

Wouldn't surprise me

Exactly why I clicked through to clarify quickly with alarm. I still think it's worth discussing and demonstrating the US's piracy, but I also think it's important to clarify what I did lest someone else think we're already at war.

Yep, I agree! Thought it was a new article.
