That "very large, very very large, overwhelmingly large, no, more bigly than that, really very large" oil
#tanker that the Navy
#seized off
#Venezuela today?
Turns out there's more to this than was first reported. I'm hearing that the tanker was apparently already ruled by a judge to be subject to a seizure order, not because of anything to do with Venezuela directly, but because it is a "
#shadow fleet" Russian tanker smuggling Iranian oil in violation of sanctions and hiding out
in Venezuelan waters.
In other words it's starting to sound like the #Maladministration accidentally did something legal for once.
