Supposedly this tanker is a well known dodger of sanctions on Iran, which went back into effect a few weeks ago.

I don't understand the problem the USA is having with Venezuela - Venezuela is in
another continent, so why are we sending our military down there? To do what?
Venezuela did not attack the USA... so, what did I miss?

Venezuela has been the epicenter of many attacks on the USA, in conjunction with CCP, Iran and Cuba. Cuba and the CCP administer the present state. The rightfully elected leaders were of no consequence due to V's own election fraud.
Venezuela developed Dominion machines and election fraud software, with the CIA International/ Cuba and CCP aiding and abetting (William Casey).
Infiltrate cartels and gangs through the open border policies. These illegal alien gangs are fifth column and were expected to unleash a reign of terror internally through murder and mayhem. That has been prevented by ICE and deportation.
Promulgating international terrorism with Iran.
And, of course, the incessant flow of lethal drugs into our country.
Any act by a foreign power of election interference by itself is regarded as a de facto act of war. Venezuela in effect declared war first, and has been acting in a war like manner against the USA albeit fourth and fifth dimensional war.
Trump is not an aggressor, he is a defender against an enemy who has already effectively declared war.
Plus, Trump is undercutting the monies that flow internationally and fund back the internal aggressions attempting to destroy our country (City of London, Intels etc.). The entities that profit from the international drug trades have declared enmity to our country.

No. Dominion is not a Venezuelan company - it is a Canadian company.
Besides, why is the USA using these machines today?
Nonsense.
Fentanyl comes from from China and Mexico,
Cocaine comes from Colombia, Peru and Bolivia
Heroin comes from Afghanistan.
So again, what is the US military doing in Venezuela?
This is unsupported nonsense. Do you have any proof?

I will trust our intelligence sources that the boats were carrying drugs. I am sure you have seen the photos of these "Fishing boats" in other threads. Of course drugs come from Venezuela as well as those other countries. Don't be obtuse.
I do think that before we launch any ground based attacks we should first drug test evey member of the Executive branch.
Also. as I have said before about $250 billion in drug money is laundered through the US financial system every year. Bombing a few bankers' mansions in the Hamptons who are responsible for this would greatly reduce the problem.

Its an elaborate supply chain and narco transportation system. Likely they meet another boat such as offshore of Puerto Rico and then the other boat reaches Puerto Rico southern coast, which ultimately gets sent to Florida, etc.

For those who might appreciate a refresher course. Dominion used to be headquartered in Colorado, which explains a lot. They moved to Toronto when US became a little dicey, and they occupied suites just down to corridor from Soros in the same building on the same floor.
The election machines were installed mainly through bribery and kickbacks to various state officials and likely Freemason intimidations.

Nothing is more American than the Monroe Doctrine. Long may it be enforced. When we can no longer enforce it or are unwilling to, we know the end has come.
Enforcing the Monroe Doctrine is far, far more important than the Middle East, Asia, or Ukraine. It's literally policing our own neighborhood. We have to secure our hemisphere first, no matter what.

“They took our oil rights. We had a lot of oil there,” Trump said. “They threw our companies out, and we want it back.”
That’s same thing Iran and Lybia did. We killed Gadaffi, we are forever sanctioning Iran and Venezuela. It’s all about oil. Black gold is a curse.

Not really. The curse is the people who lead those countries and take it all for themselves quite literally. Then screw their citizens over via poor government because they got theirs.
Getting Venezuela on the right page is a win for its citizen and the world. Not sure what gas prices are on the west coast, but just drove through a suburban town and it was $2.79/gallon. Now imagine if VZ got their foot out of their own ass how much that would benefit our gas prices and prices on everything.
Either way someone else will step in and reap the benefits. Would you rather have it be someone from overseas? Because that's the alternative. Also you're not typing on whatever device you have without oil. It's a necessary evil that some ass holes take advantage of.

As for the lack of refining in Venezuela:
One of the world's top 10 superefineries is in VZ. Built by Shell of course, Iran wants to buy.
Believed to be not as large as the world's largest in India, nor smaller than the Ulsan Refinery in South Korea, the largest in East Asia. Much larger in capacity than the largest in Texas, Baytown.

Venezuela has greater oil stores than any other country. But after years of corruption, mismanagement and more recently U.S. sanctions, its oil output has dropped to a tenth of what it was two decades ago.
From Lake Maracaibo in the west to the Orinoco oil belt in the east, abandoned wells rust in the sun as looters scavenge the metal. The last drilling rig still working in Venezuela shut down in August. The country is on course, by the end of this year, to be pumping little more oil than the state of Wyoming.
“Twenty percent of the world’s oil is in Venezuela, but what good is it if we can’t monetize it?” said Carlos Mendoza, an ambassador under the late socialist president Hugo Chávez, who enjoyed an oil bonanza when prices were high but starved the industry of investment and maintenance funds.
“We’re entering a post-oil era,” Mr. Mendoza said.
While petroleum is under stress world-wide from climate-change concerns and the rise of wind and solar power, what is happening to oil in Venezuela goes far beyond the global industry’s troubles. It is an existential crisis for a country long dependent on oil for nearly all of its hard-currency earnings.
This year, Venezuela’s oil income will probably fall below the limited funds coming in from other sources such as gold mining and overseas workers’ remittances, said Luis Vicente León, an economist and pollster. Venezuela’s economy is likely to shrink more than 30% this year from the oil collapse plus the pandemic, says Ecoanalitica, a Caracas business consulting firm.
