Nicholas Maduro has been captured: Trump

So remind me again how we are "running" the country of Venezuela and securing its oil reserves as our own, from 40 miles offshore.

Is this just, like, a bidding process? What of the Venezuelan militias throughout the country?
 
The original name for Desert Stupid was....Operation Iraqi Liberation...OIL.


You may be getting your wars confused.

Desert Shield - Desert Storm was in response to Iraq invading Kuwait. It was a UN alliance and was a fast, precise operation - liberated Kuwait - the US then withdrew it's forces - never took control of Baghdad, the Capitol of Iraq. No oil "Taken by the US"


The Iraq War happened decades later - and although the US took control of Iraq - Some shorter term oil contracts were done shortly after the war with British Petrolium, Italy, Turkey - China/Russia BUT The vast majority of the Oil Contracts ended up with China & Russia.

So no, spending a TRILLION dollars on a war to have China and Russia end up with the control of the Oil would not be a "reason" for that war.

As a matter of fact, Sadaam Hussein offered to sell oil to the US for as low as $10 a barrel if the US would sign a long term peace deal PRIOR to the invasions. THE US REFUSED. It would have been exponentially more profitable for the US had they not gone to war in Iraq.
 
Trump is now on Truth Social saying Venezuelan President Nicholas Maduro has been captured and flown out of the country, along with his wife. This is a major development and frees up Venezuela to have a free and fair democratic election.


Before anything this was an arrest of a criminal who holds Americans hostage...

3. and is an ally of Islamic fascist Republic having its drones produced too, reportedly;

We managed the revenue from the oil contracts

We didn’t take the oil. We sold it and took the money
 
Consider this:

Trump said major oil companies are going to handle upgrading, repairing operating Vz's oil industry. This tells me there already has been discussions.
US needs new refineries but the tree huggers delay construction. During 45 I read there were investors willing to construct new refineries here. That went out the window with the bogus 2020 election.
So oil companies are going to operate Vz's oil industry. Great opportunity to build new refineries and ship fuel to the US and not much the tree huggers could do about it.
