How weak do you think America is that Venezuela or even drug cartels are some kind of existential threat? At most they are a fly biting a horse butt.
You let fear of brown people decide your entire life. Sad.

Russian troll says things.
I didn’t say that Venezuela itself is an existential threat. I said that the people who control Venezuela and the drug cartels are themselves controlled by supra-national organisations who have the destruction of America as a primary aim in their quest for world control. The forces are many and varied as are their methods of attack. You are only seeing the visible parts, but many of the chaos you see in America every day is orchestrated by outside forces attacking by every available means in fifth generation warfare. Look it up.
What’s your evidence? BTW I’m brown too.
Osama Bin Laden also had the destruction of America in mind, and the USA’s willingness to be goaded into the longest war in its history, wasting thousands of young lives and untold treasure, not to mention the weapons left behind as part of a catastrophic exit, pretty much means Bin Laden won in his way.

MIght not be such a far fetched idea as oil is going to fall further.
Drowning in it at the moment
Perhaps there needs to be a supply distruption?
For some reason the ships leaving Venezuela are ghost fleet vessels (that the USA has grabbed), why is that?
No UN sanctions on Venezuela.
It is US sanctions imposed in 2019. Apparently Trump doesn’t care about the Russian ghost fleet for some reason.
“Ghost fleets are a growing phenomenon, used not just by Venezuela but also by two other oil-producing countries under Western sanctions - Russia and Iran.
Financial intelligence firm S&P Global estimates that one in five oil tankers worldwide are used to smuggle oil from sanctioned countries.
Of these, 10% carry only Venezuelan oil, 20% carry Iranian oil, while 50% are exclusively dedicated to Russian oil. The remaining 20% are not tied to any particular country and can transport oil from more than one of these nations.
Oil sanctions aim to discourage countries or companies from buying or dealing with crude oil from sanctioned nations.
Companies and nations caught buying oil from sanctioned countries like Venezuela risk being sanctioned themselves by the US.
Sanctioned countries offer their oil at steep discounts so that companies or nations are willing to take the risk of buying it whilst applying tricks to disguise its origin.”

Is it that hot summer sun you are having that makes you brown?
If it gets too hot an ice cold stubby of “Swan Lager” will help cool you down:
I’m simply referring to my Samoan heritage (mentioned in these pages some time ago WRT HMNZS Manawanui sinking near my ancestral village) which is apparent to some people, not others. No big deal but a great story I can tell you over a beer when I’m next in Alsund.
It’s considered a no-no to infer the degree of race from appearance. The most active political Aborigines in Australia are whiter than white, including blue eyed, blonde haired Tasmanian Aborigines, a sub-grouping supposedly extinct after the last of them, Truganini, died in 1876.
As for which beer to use to cool down, there are lots. Admittedly, Swan is the local brew with our local black swan as logo.
To properly cool down volume is essential. Try a Darwin Stubby. Normal stubby for reference.

It’s pathetic that the USCG supported by the US Navy has been trying to seize another tanker off Venezuela— without any results.
It should have been seized or sunk within a couple of hours.
We are back in laughing stock paper tiger mode.
It was reported here that US Forces were pursuing a tanker. Unless they had resorted to using a craft from more than two centuries ago I was unable to fathom why this should take days.

What will happen to the oil that get captured in the Caribbean?
Will it end up in some US refinery, or be sold on the open market?
Maybe the captured tankers will just be “redirected” to highest bidder?
It is after all just a question of a transaction, just like any real estate transaction. 
PS: If somebody don’t want to buy you should get the message:
The same applies to to pirated crude oil.
The sanctioned oil that is captured by the US will probably be used to replenish the US Strategic Petroleum Reserve.
The tankers can be put to good government use.
