“So that is both poetic and tangible justice.”

Indeed.

“Trump admin to sell Iranian fuel meant for Venezuela, give proceeds to terror victims,” Associated Press, October 30, 2020:

The Trump administration plans to use proceeds from the sale of fuel confiscated from Iranian tankers to benefit victims of terrorism, officials announced Thursday.

The US military in August seized 1.1 million barrels of fuel from four Iranian tankers bound for Venezuela. The fuel has since been sold, and officials say the proceeds will go to a special fund for victims of state-sponsored terrorism.

    About time. Every time that avails of a terrorist, Islamic country are seized, the money should go to victims of that country. That is justice. The terrorist country should compensate those it persecuted.

    It’s about time someone had the balls to take steps like this.
    Actions like this are why the left hate the Trump administration so much.
    He is a loose cannon that the globalists can’t control, which is why they fear him and all he is achieving.

      Biden would have apologized and returned the fuel to Iran…
      Thereby continuing the Obama doctrine of financing Iranian terror activities.
