I don't think the idiot in chief has looked at how much of the defense budget he's using up with this action. A couple of ships full of oil don't make up for that.

Trump and his oligarch enablers couldn't care less about how much taxpayer money they are wasting, as long as their private companies are profiting and they can pocket that money.

Isnt state sanctioned piracy called privateering?

It is when non state actors are doing it. IE private actors.

When done by state resources it's just a war crime.
