U.S. seizes Iranian gasoline from four tankers en route to Venezuela - US officials threatened ship owners, insurers and captains with sanctions to force them to hand over their cargo, which now becomes U.S. property

Lol the old change the subject, very deft!

That all goes way beyond the scope of this conversation. If I could have changed US history foreign policy over the last 50 some odd years I'd have done it.

Glad to know your defense of state sponsored terrorism and south american authoritarian regimes is some convoluted "both sides!" bullshit from circa 2015.

Here's a list of countries that recognized the Venezuelan election: Antigua and Barbuda, Belarus, Bolivia, China, Cuba, Dominica, Egypt, El Salvador, Iran, North Korea, South Africa, Russia, Saint Vincent and the Grenadines, Syria, Turkey, Vietnam, and the disputed state of the Saharawi Arab Democratic Republic, Western Sahara

Did not recognize: the European Union, the Organization of American States, the Lima Group and countries including Australia and the United States

You're right. I do come to the defense of my "side" (my side being democracy and western liveralism) in this global economic conflict.
