Pirates stealing oil and ships.

Exactly. The word 'seized' is normally used with 'assets' and has connotations of legally appropriating something due to a judicial process. There is absolutely zero legal justification for what the Trump regime is doing. Words matter.

It's embarrassing being associated with any part of the US...

don't worry; you can only be embarrased if you're paying enough attention and american proved that they hate paying attention to "politics" at any cost.
