It appears two of the tankers make it to Venezuela, despite Trump's threat that “We’ve got it surrounded, it’s surrounded at a level that nobody even knows but they know. We are watching to see what happens”

Actually, it's the opposite. Trump tends to avoid unnecessary conflict, and that's why I previously said "I'd be curious if Trump has a position on this."
TDS would make you say since Trump likes peace, you like war.

Really? So, arguing with a reporter is a necessary conflict? Making fun of someone with a physical impairment was a necessary conflict?
Trump LOVES conflict. Trump creates conflict out of thin air. He's a coward, so he avoids conflicts that are anything other than one-sided in his favor, but he loves conflict when he can bully the shit out of someone.

You're absolutely right, there is lot's lots of hate and anger in Trump. Pretty large amount of deceit, dishonesty and racist rhetoric too.

Here in Los Angeles, we have "rivers" that are actually concrete runoff drains that route water to the ocean. Most of these rivers have a bicycle trail on either side that have underpasses to cross freeways, roads, etc. In those underpasses are a lot of homeless camps. I run these trails a lot, and I see a lot of homeless having very animated conversations with imaginary people.
Trump is one of those guys, only with money and power.

Are those completely dry part of the year?
I'm thinking of the movie Repo Man where Harry Dean Stanton and Emilio Estevez are doing that chase scene with the Mexican brothers.

Lots of famous movie scenes were shot in those rivers. They're not usually "completely dry" but they barely have any water. The rivers are very wide, but there's an 8 foot strip in the middle that usually has some water flowing. Only when we have heavy rains does the whole width get used. Still, in a county of 10 million people, there's always a few people creating runoff into the gutters.

Here in Pittsburgh we have three rivers that are rather full of water, they too are lined with homeless camps where conversations with imaginary people can be overseen. Where there's a will, there's a way.

"According to The Associated Press, quoting unnamed U.S. officials, no military force was used in the seizure of the cargo, and none of the ships was physically impounded. Instead, U.S. officials threatened ship owners, insurers and captains with sanctions to force them to hand over their cargo, the AP reported." ________________________________________________

As I told you before, "Venezuela is currently suffering widespread gasoline shortages, with domestic production hamstrung by US sanctions prohibiting the import of vital diluents and spare parts needed to reactivate the country’s refining capacity."
What a shitshow of a country the US is for making Venezuelans suffer.
