        The oil tankers captured from Venezuela were sanctioned for delivering oil for Iran and Russia to fuel the genocide in Ukraine.

            No. They were sanctioned years ago under Biden. They were captured on the way to Cuba.

                The ship — known as Adisa in 2022 — is among the vessels controlled by sanctioned Russian oil magnate Viktor Artemov, the Treasury said in a statement. At the time, the Treasury said Artemov transported Iranian oil using an expansive network of ships that were often registered in obscure ways with the intention of skirting U.S. restrictions on Iranian petroleum exports.

                  Ok, so ignoring the fact that you can’t take a word bondi says truthfully, the argument i see here is tenuous at best. Some vagueness about links to the russian guy, and at one point the boat may have possibly been used for oil smuggling.

                  All of this happening while trump is pushing Venezuela makes these claims suspect

                    Russia and Iran have been sanctioned since the beginning of the war. This ship was sanctioned in 2022 before Trump was elected.

                    Russia is obviously mad that their shadow fleet is getting captured.
