On Wednesday, the FBI, DHS, and the U.S. Coast Guard executed a warranted seize of an oil tanker illegally transporting crude oil from Venezuela and Iran.
And the video looked really cool so the Attorney General posted it on X:
Of course, some people are very afraid that the United States is inching towards a war with Venezuela.
Or, as The Hill put it:
Democratic lawmakers and Sen. Rand Paul (R-Ky.) expressed concern Wednesday that the seizure of a Venezuelan oil tanker by the U.S. could further increase tensions between the two countries, while other GOP senators said they were awaiting more information.
'It sounds a lot like the beginning of a war' Paul told NewsNation's Hannah Brandt on Capitol Hill.
"Democrats and Rand Paul" is the perfect way to frame the opposition 😂
Here's Democrat Senator Mark Warner's take on the issue (with commentary):
President Trump, meanwhile, answered questions about the seizure of the ship like this:
Go get on your helicopter and follow the tanker 😂
Amazing.
