      Yeah, but no. The oil companies themselves have said it would take several years to bring everything up to date.

      Wait wait wait. I thought this was about the drugs? What about the drugs?! /s

      South America and the EU (among others) should refuse to participate in the World Cup.

      They should also threaten to boycott the Olympics. 

      Seriously.

      Sure, Mr. „I’ll End The War In Ukraine, Bring Down Grocery Prices, Have A New Healthcare Plan, Release The Epstein Files Day One“ …we believe you, whatever you say.

      Yea, the sun could not rise tomorrow too. But I bet it will, the same way I bet oil firms will infact not be „up and running“ in 18 months. Venezuela didnt just pop up on the map, theres a reason why almost no American oil companies are extracting there in lieu of other places.

      Drugs my ass. He’s talking non stop just about stealing Venezuelan oil. F this orange clown.

      I could look at Leslie Nielsen playing American president in Scary Movie and it somehow seems more serious than literal real world America with Trump playing a president. America is a god damn actual meme at this point. It’s wild that we’re literally living in a timeline where this is actually happening…

      The internet is fascinating. Everyone knows trump lies, even his supporters. Yet every day there’s 20 posts about “Trump said this”, and every day there’s 3,000 comments from people saying “yeah no he’s lying” like yeah, no shit.

      What oil company would want to go in to Venezuela without persistent US security guarantees that all of us will be on the hook for via taxes?

      Has anyone heard anything else about those drug boats? No? Huh. I guess we must’ve gotten them all then. /s

      And conservatives are completely fine with this.

      But I guess once you are ok with children being raped by your president, there isn’t anything that you will object to.

      Paid for by the already unnecessarily struggling American Taxpayer for corporate profits!

      So in other words, oil companies put together this plan, and lobbied/threw money at Trump to help them enact it. You don’t just “come up with a plan” to industrialize another countries resources… this takes a lot of time and money.

      If Trump had bothered to talk to the CEOs of the major oil companies first he would have learned that they don’t really want to invest in Venezuelan crude extraction. The world is awash with oil and global consumption is expected to peak by 2030. What the majors want is oil that is cheap and low risk. Venezuelan oil is neither.

      It seems that Trump went into Venezuela with no clear idea of what to do next.

      Trump is a homicidal sociopath who thinks they are right about everything and ignores anything otherwise. We are doomed if nothing changes soon.

      I truly hope no one is applauding this.

      Calling this “policy” is absurd — it’s closer to a home invasion dressed up as justice.

      Break in under the banner of righteousness, loot the valuables, seize the house, and throw out the people who lived there.

      That is not what a nation committed to the rule of law is supposed to do.

      And which US oil firms would that be? The majors that pulled out of Venezuela years ago and built infrastructure in Canada? The ones who if production increased in Venezuela would lose them more money from production in Canada?

      So Venezuela didn’t have drugs?

      Nothing like sacrificing and putting American lifes in danger so that he can help oil companies make more money.

      And we could have fusion power generation in 18 months. But saying it, doesn’t mean it will happen.

      Venezuela is a country of 30 million people, kidnapping the arsehole in charge of it doesn’t magically make you it’s ruler anymore than if I kidnapped Trump it would magically make me Emperor of America.

    34. Antares42 on

      Funny. That’s also roughly what the Wehrmacht estimated about the oil fields in Baku.

    35. Howwouldiknow1492 on

      It’s going to be interesting to see how American oil companies react to this situation. They got burned once when Venezuela nationalized their assets there. Now, who owns what? Is the federal government going to guarantee their new investments there? Getting those fields up and running isn’t going to be trivial.

      And what happens when Trump and his cabal are no longer in power? Is the US going to try to make amends to the rest of the world and give all this stuff back?

    36. Electrical-Prize-397 on

      This is about stealing Venezuela’s oil. NOT DRUGS.

      And not only that, an oil industry man said it could take a decade of infrastructure upgrades before the oil could really start flowing.

      So once again, Trump is lying.

      But more importantly, THE OIL IS NOT OURS.

      Translation: the United States will wait 19 months to start a war with Iran.
