Seems pretty bad that there are US soldiers willing to participate in this.

Europe seized vessels of Russian citizens as well as shadow fleet tanker due to sanctions. VZ is sanctioned. What's the diff?

They took a lot of their oil infrastructure from US companies didn't they? Basically, stole it? I'm confused how enforcing these sanctions that have been on the books for a long time means soldiers should disobey valid orders?
