I think the seizure is legal. As I understand it, the ship in question has been sanctioned since 2016 or so for being used to help Iran and Russia both get around the sanctions imposed on those countries. I don't think this is piracy, though I do think it's unwise to do at this time. It also shows that propaganda aside, this confrontation with Venezuela has nothing to do with drugs, as @BrianSoddingBoru4 has noted elsewhere.
OK, then. And I agree about the oil; even if it's harder to refine than light sweet crude, there is a LOT of it there.
If you get to thinking you’re a person of some influence, try ordering somebody else’s dog around.
