Yet another victory for the heroes of resistance.

Send in the German cruise ships!
Not excited by this at all. Two destitute rogue states smuggling fuel to stay alive. The US would be fully within international law to interdict, board and intern all these ships. But why bother?
I guess the “heroes of the resistance” get some gas.
/ but something tells me that all five of these Iranian flagged tankers will never again reach Iran.
How is Meathead Maduro, aka Fatboy or El Gordo, paying Khomeini?
1) Increased baaing rights of the IRGC and Iranians spies on Venezuelan soil?
2) Gold dug out of Venezuelan interior with cyanide and other environmentally bad ways?
3) IOU
4) All of the above.
Iran is not exactly swimming in money unless it has not ran through the stack that Obama gave them.
Can the US take out Venezuela? Easily.
But do we want to risk a general war with Russia, China or both?
Certainly, the Democrats do not want a war. That is not unless the win the White House and Senate. Until then those hosers will obfuscate, rock the boat and try to make the country ungovernable. It is the favored tactic of those grifters.
These 5 tankers are not a game changer, neither for Maduro and not for IRAN. It is politically good for their face, but their deep fundamental problems are not fixed with that.

Next question. How long can Iran give this away or give away at reduced price?
