       Before posting or quoting outrage about the tanker the US seized off the Venezuelan coast, joking about "pirates" etc, please be aware that in *this* case the US action was apparently in accordance with international law. The ship was literally sailing under a false flag.(At least that is what I have read from what I feel are trustworthy sources.)https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025/dec/11/venezuela-oil-tanker-seized-usAlso see for instance https://cimsec.org/unauthorized-flags-a-threat-to-the-global-maritime-regime/ Now, the underlying motive of this action probably is something else than just making the seas safer, but still.
