But Venezuela has no problem contributing to the genocide in Ukraine

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.

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.

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

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

Venezuela is trying to profit off the genocide in Ukraine

According to the Kremlin

Cuba tried to help Russia nuke the US.

The U.S. has been sanctioning tankers delivering petroleum from Venezuela to Cuba since 2019.

They also buy oil. Remember oil needs to be refined.

I’m sorry that the truth makes you so mad.

Pam Bondi speaks on behalf of Trump and was quoted in the article:

The tanker, which transported oil from Venezuela and Iran, has been sanctioned by the U.S. for years “due to its involvement in an illicit oil shipping network supporting foreign terrorist organizations,”

The oil tanker was captured because it was sanctioned years ago under Biden for illegally delivering black market oil to Iran.

Iran was sanctioned for their contribution to the invasion and genocide in Ukraine.

Venezuela is trying to continue to provide black market oil to countries sanctioned for their contribution to the genocide in Ukraine.

Since you’re spamming this comment I’ll have to copy and paste the response.

It was headed to Cuba when it was captured. It had already transported oil to Iran. From the article:

The tanker, which transported oil from Venezuela and Iran, has been sanctioned by the U.S. for years “due to its involvement in an illicit oil shipping network supporting foreign terrorist organizations,”

This ship was sanctioned years ago under Biden not Trump.

You should read the article.

The fact that the oil from Venezuela was headed to Russia and Iran isn’t up for debate.

It’s pretty clear that you intend to defend the genocide in Ukraine.

The oil was headed to Iran and Russia. That is not up for debate. You’re a fool that is either tricked into or intentionally defending the genocide in Ukraine.

You’re not saying anything new just reinforcing what I said:

Venezuela is trying to supply black market oil to Russia and Iran after that oil was sanctioned because of the genocide in Ukraine.

The other guy is talking conspiracy theories. The oil was sanctioned and Venezuela still tried to supply it to profit off genocide. Of course the US is going to enforce the sanctions. This isn’t 5d chess.

Trump can’t be too blatant about his loyalty to Putin. Everytime his base starts to notice he does something to pretend he isn’t owned by Putin.

Lifting the blockade for Putin would be too blatant. He would lose followers.
