The United States’ escalating campaign to seize Venezuelan oil tankers is nothing less than the pirating of a sovereign nation’s most critical resource. These actions—now intensified under new sanctions and open threats of war—represent a dangerous abuse of power and a blatant violation of international law. No nation, no matter how powerful, has the right to hijack another country’s economic lifeline.
Each barrel of oil taken is a theft not only from Venezuela’s economy, but from its people—resources that should fund hospitals, schools, and rebuilding efforts, not be siphoned off under the guise of geopolitical pressure. The question is simple: Who gets to keep the oil? The answer is even simpler: It must be returned to Venezuela immediately.
By tightening sanctions while threatening military escalation, the U.S. is destabilizing an already vulnerable region and eroding any credibility it claims to hold as a defender of sovereignty. This path leads only to further suffering and needless confrontation.
The world must speak clearly: Venezuela’s resources belong to Venezuela. Anything less is legalized theft disguised as foreign policy.
