Can they legally blockade our ships? Are the sanctions against Venezuela UN sanctions or unilateral by the U.S.?
Either way, the shipment of fuel should have been touted as humanitarian aid from the beginning and not just commerce or whatever this is....we need to learn to use the same lingo and double meaning as our enemies. Calling it humanitarian aid and then getting it blocked will show their true colors to the world....we must chip away at this false image they've built up since WWI.
They are US sanctions. They have no legal ground to stop another sovereign nation's vessel going to Venezuela. The world is already aware of America's true identity however most nations either cannot or do not act against them. In terms of overt action against the US, it is only Iran that is so aggressive. Iran could have resorted to using various grounds such as humanitarian aid etc but it decided to proudly fly its flag on these ships and send them without such cover. The US has committed so much crime without likes of UN even lifting their tongue that stopping a humanitarian shipment would not be much compared to what they have already done historically.
