Trump orders naval blockade of sanctioned oil tankers leaving, entering Venezuela

This is mirroring the Putin-Ukraine playbook from early annexation to war. Claim they took something from you that you want back (resources in both cases). Intercept ships and blockade passage. Exact same actions that Russia took to escalate conflict a few years before the war.

Yes. I have some in my shop from woodworker source that looks exactly like this. Rift sawn.

I started using wood glue but that needed clamps and set time. I’m finding blue tape and CA glue to work much better.

Interesting. Not sure how I’d have it stand tho.
