This is always such an insane take, especially from Ashkenazi Jews. You are originally from Palestine? Mf you literally had a single ancestor there 3000 years ago that don't give you claims to shit! White colonizer mfs lol
I can see y'all are a pretty dogmatic bunch, so I'll keep it brief.
The US is (illegally) seizing tankers carrying Venezuelan oil to market, off the coast of Venezuela.
Post title "taste of their own medicine", tweet mentions "US-linked" (whatever that means is doing a lot of heavy lifting) tankers.
Put them together and it means that Iran is seizing American (linked?) oil tankers (wtf??) off the coast of Iran, to.... steal back the oil.... that they sold to.... someone using US-linked oil tankers?

It's Iranians smuggling cheap diesel out of Iran to sell in foreign currency and convert back to rial (my guess) for big profits. Or just buy stuff in foreign currency, who knows. Anyway, their navy caught them. This is really not any kind of liberation success story, just internal policing in Iran.
I get it though and I'm with you, I'd love to see some justice for, not even historical, but even for just the international law violations the US is committing today, that would be enough. But this ain't it buddy.
Copium. This is Iran trying to stop diesel smuggling out of Iran, not solidarity with Venezuela or anti-imperialist action. It's not even close to America's medicine.
Tbf Kolomoysky (and all the oligarchs to some extent) did have a lot to do with it. Yes it was the USA that brought a match but who doused the whole place in petrol?
significant lack of understanding of Venezuelan politics
I suffer from the same. I watched Empire Files but that's about it. Do you have any (short) book recommendations that cover recent history in broad strokes, or would news and wikipedia be appropriate? There's so much to learn about I hate coming up on 850 page books outlining every single detail of the past 400 years and then finding out it's written by Lt. Col. Nato McColdwar III.
Under UK terrorism law it seems it is a lesser crime to bomb the King David Hotel in Palestine.
