Venezuela’s imports of naphtha, a key feedstock for oil production, are ramping up as the US readies sanctions relief that would allow oil drillers and service companies to restart activities in the country

It's not under external administration.

They will play nice with Trump, but they still run their own country in most respects....at least for now since Trump knows Congress probably won't go along with troops on the ground and actually running a foreign country.

US external administration is the best what can happened to Venezuela. Without US external administration this state will colpase, much like Romanov empire in 1917. and Moscow , Persian Islamic , Han empires want this state go under, do you know why?

Bad news for khan putin & "global south" — great news for the USA and Free World. Looks like Modi's belly dance in front of Donald Trump didn't yield any results.
India and the so-called "Global South" decry British, American, European "colonialism", yet actively fund Moscow’s imperial war machine by buying discounted stolen Siberian oil. While preaching justice, they fuel Putin’s wars in Ukraine, Georgia, Belarus (hybrid), Armenia, Azerbaijan, EU and beyond. That’s not neutrality—it’s complicity.
But pressure is mounting. Every dollar cut from Urals...

Just like for Iran, VZ's main problem was American led sanctions.

Trump1 sanctioning of VZ in 2017 led to steep drop off in their oil production:

So yes sure, it will be good for VZ to make nice with America and it's too bad we have an amoral, unprincipled president that frankly doesn't give a shit about VZ and it's people aside from their utility to America and his own personal interests.

 

[AntonToo]

Venezuela has a small stockpile of WMD

You seriously have a brain disease if you think VZ is nuts enough to try to go there with United States.

Exactly no one in US thinks VZ presents any sort of security risk and if there was even so much as a hint of WMDs Trump would of course use that as an invasion excuse.

This is very powerful, but unfortunately an extremely partisan statement. I do agree that sanctions usually lead to the opposite of what we want them to achieve — a good example is the EU’s sanctions on the Belarusian state, which the US is trying to stop today, not only to support the Belarusian nation but also to strengthen Eastern Europe, in a way similar to the Tito–Stalin split. My question is: what is your prediction for Venezuela’s oil industry and the oil price at the end of this year?

It's fairly objective if you simply listen to what Trump has had to say about VZ.



I'll give you the cliff notes:

oil, oil, oil, we are going to run the country, oil, oil, our oil.

Nothing about democratic principles, nothing about sovereignty, nothing about international law, nothing about holding free and fair elections, nothing about will of the people of VZ.

Opposite? Nope, Trump got a lot of what he wanted by crippling VZ oil production.

Trump’s peace deal is a typical example of Byzantine diplomacy. He will defeat Moscow’s imperialism by strategically manipulating oil prices, using tariffs, sanctions, and hardcore diplomacy. Remember, we're fighting just a gas station, so the Trump-Reagan strategy could work once again. When the cost of “black gold” was $15–23 per barrel, the Bolshevik imperial economy collapsed—and with it, the Bolshevik empire itself. Putin’s “Golden Horde” (the Moscow empire) can only sustain its budget if urals oil prices remain at $42.4 per barrel.


If you want to learn more about Byzantine diplomacy, I’d recommend this book:




or just watch this video:
Conversations host Harry Kreisler welcomes Edward N. Luttwak for aconversation on his new book, The Grand Strategy of the Byzantine Empire." Luttwak discusses the logic of the strategy; the distinctive features of Byzantine strategy with its balance of diplomacy, intelligence, and military power; the institutional and ideological foundations that account for the eight hundred year survival of Byzantium, and the implications of this record for other great powers with diminished resources confronting many adversaries. The conversation concludes with a comparison of Rome, Byzantium, and the United States. Series: Conversations with History [2/2010] [Humanities] [Show ID: 17979]

You can't defeat Moscow's imperialism by embracing it's lawless, might-makes-right principles.

It only justifies, exports and cultivates it.

If Trump simply wanted to defeat Russian imperialism, then he would steadfastly support Ukraine's defense, instead of constantly giving Putin hope for military win and extending the war.

I'm just being realistic. There is no way to make negotiations with America without having a good stick.

Exactly no one in US thinks VZ presents any sort of security risk and if there was even so much as a hint of WMDs Trump would of course use that as an invasion excuse.

C'mon. America just lifted sanctions and became an oil broker for Venezuela. And, of course, Americans are mushrooms. They are kept in darkness and feed with shit.

 

[AntonToo]

VZ has no stick, can be taken over TOMMOROW if Americans actually wanted that.

What Trump personally wants and what America at large wants are very different things.

You have no idea what you are talking about.

You can — it has happened millions of times before — but what you cannot do for sure is win a real war in white gloves. But I see your point.

Thread 'The discount on Urals (Stolen Siberian) crude is now almost 50% off Brent, oil is selling at a loss, and buyers are still avoiding Stolen Siberian oil'

Jan 8, 2026

so our sanctions-tariffs dont work ? they say , right ? as I wrote before, Oil sanctions, drone sanctions, and U.S. tariffs on consumers of stolen Siberian oil and gas are the main part of Trump’s peace plan . Many of our members don’t understand the Trump–Reagan strategic game against the Moscow empire. Today, The Kremlin is scrambling to control information as the his imperial economy falters. Blocking the internet in Kamchatka shows just how afraid they are of people seeing reality.



CONTEXT :

"give us back Alaska, our native Moscow land"...

America is not at real war.

Ukraine is at real war. They were invaded and are defending themselves consistent with international law.

It's the current American President that is white-gloving their military capacity and hindering their ability to win or at least get to minimally acceptable settlement to hot conflict with Russia.
