In a world where CNN surprises us with unexpected moments of clarity, their national security contributor has done just that by not objecting to the U.S. seizing a Venezuelan oil tanker. This audacious act, carried out by our brave military forces, is a testament to President Trump’s unyielding resolve to uphold international laws and protect American interests. For once, even CNN has to admit that this move is as lawful as it gets.
It’s amusing to see the mainstream media, ever ready to vilify Trump’s every move, struggle to find fault here. Our President’s robust approach to dealing with rogue nations like Venezuela and their illicit oil networks is a much-needed slap in the face for those who dance around international sanctions. Liberals, of course, would rather have us believe that tender talks and hollow negotiations are the way to handle such blatant defiance.
CNN is always quick to criticize Trump…EXCEPT for when it comes to things the Deep State wants

CNN may usually cater to the anti-Trump brigade, but this notable exception only underscores the clear legitimacy of the action. When oil tankers are being used to flout sanctions and fund malicious operations against us, the U.S. isn’t just entitled—it is obligated—to seize them. The criticism from Venezuela, calling this seizure shameless robbery, is laughable. Those who flout the law don’t get to play the victim.
For those who question Trump’s tactics, let’s not ignore the vital role this operation plays in maintaining order. When faced with lawbreakers, you don’t ask politely—you take action. This isn’t just about an oil tanker; it’s about standing firm against those who wish to undermine international agreements that keep the world safe from these rogues.
Trump, once again, has highlighted the incompetence of his detractors, who are more concerned with being politically correct than with facing the truth. Why do we let globalist interests dictate terms while America’s strength and security hang in the balance? With every seized tanker, we send a clear message: America will not back down. Isn’t it time liberals realized that the world runs not on empty words but on decisive action?
