US Military Just UNLEASHED on Venezuela's GHOST SHIPS

About this video

Max discusses breaking news that the U.S. is targeting Venezuela’s shadow fleet of oil tankers to crush Maduro’s regime economically. He describes how the U.S. seized the tanker “Skipper” in December 2024 with 1.8 million barrels of Venezuelan crude and claims 39 more vessels will be targeted. Max presents hypothetical scenarios for how special operations teams, F-35s, MQ-9 Reapers, and naval assets could seize or disable these vessels, arguing this economic warfare could turn Maduro’s inner circle against him by cutting off their funding.

Key takeaways

• Max reports the U.S. seized the tanker “Skipper” on December 10, 2024 (he states 2025, likely an error) and claims 39 more shadow fleet tankers will be targeted to cut off Venezuela’s primary source of revenue.
• Max argues that seizing these vessels, which he says are worth $90-100 million each and carry sanctioned Venezuelan oil to China and Iran, could pressure Maduro’s inner circle to turn against him by eliminating their funding.
• Max presents two hypothetical scenarios illustrating how F-35Cs, MQ-9 Reapers, Navy SEALs, and carrier strike group assets could work together to interdict, board, seize, or disable shadow fleet tankers in the Caribbean.
• Max claims this operation is part of broader economic warfare affecting not just Venezuela but also China’s oil supply chain and Iran’s smuggling networks.
