U.S. intends to take control of the oil aboard the tanker, pending legal procedures.

Oh good! There are legal procedures to be a terrorist state and a bully on the global stage! Wonderful.

"He wants peace.…”

Then…. Maybe don’t start a war?

I guess we don't need all these oil rigs in the "Gulf of America" anymore. Time to shut them down and fire all the MAGA voting workers there.

The future looked so bright for the US near the end of Clinton's second term. Then, a few hanging chads later, it all went to shit. Here we are now, a collapsing authoritian theiving state about to be left behind in the dust.

Well we did it, we once again announced to the world we are a terrorist state that is engaging in state-sponsored, military-run piracy.

So the US is just stealing now, cool , cool.

Well, it's kinda always been their foreign policy. This is just straight up piracy though.

The only thing Dubya was good for was being so reviled that we got absolute bangers for years.

Anyway, here's a 20 year-old song about using military action to steal.

America is just a pit of surprises. Any time I think we're found the bottom it keeps going further down.
