If the US seized a Russia flagged tanker under a Democratic administration, media and pundits on both the left and the right would be up in arms about possible WWIII.
The relative silence around what the Trump administration is doing is notable—particularly because it does involve extreme risks.

You don't suck up to bullies like Trump, he will just see it as a sign of weakness.
Keir Starmer needs to get on the phone to our European allies including the Danish PM, and show a united front against Trump's threats.

This video, viewed millions of times on TikTok, Facebook and X, claims to show Venezuelans taking to the street to thank the US for detaining Maduro.
But the video is a combination of four AI-generated clips and was first posted on TikTok by a user who frequently shares AI videos. It's not real.
