Well… they did.
Two things can be true at the same time, the shadow fleet serving oil across sanctioned countries is breaking maritime agreements and trade protocols as ***the money from this ends up in the drug trade and bit in the hands of the Venezuelan people ***.
Major independent sources treat these actions as theft but is contested as a trade embargo, and Venezuela is not exactly the Rebellion or resistance from anything.
I don’t understand the bit about “breaking maritime agreements and trade protocols”.
Countries can trade with each other even if the US doesn’t like it. There are no UN-mandated sanctions.
Might does not make right here. (Unless the Star Wars reference was hinting at sarcasm)
