Venezuela: Coast Guard Seizes 4 Million Barrels 105 Dead

The US Coast Guard is literally hunting oil tankers in the Caribbean right now—they've already seized ships carrying four million barrels of Venezuelan crude, and 105 people are dead from airstrikes on boats the administration says were trafficking drugs. Trump declared a total blockade of Venezuela, which is a term that usually means nations are at war, and four UN human rights experts just called it illegal armed aggression because you can't enforce your own sanctions with military force. Venezuela passed an anti-piracy law in two days flat and is threatening self-defense if this continues, the UN held an emergency Security Council session about it, and somehow nobody's talking about whether Congress even authorized any of this.
