So Trump DOES Want Venezuela's Oil. I Thought It Was Only A War On Drugs!

I do not live in Panama.

If I did and that happened it would be between me and the government of Panama. The US government would not be involved at all

Te US deposed Pineapple face dont you remember

Changed your destination or not there yet?

Te US deposed Pineapple face dont you remember

Yes, after the US put him in power and after he quit working with the CIA

So should we stop drilling for oil altogether then, you know, to avoid 'greed' and 'lust for blood'?

There is such thing as sovereignity. When foreign private companies work in the USA, they follow American rules. When US government change the rules (for any reason) they should follow those new rules or f#ck off. It has nothing to do with relationships with its foreign government. I mean they can talk, they can discuss, they can try to take proper compensation, but it is definitely not a Casus belli.

 

[OldFlame]

No, they did it to make money. They knew the risk going in. It is a matter between those companies and the government of Venezuela. The US government has no role in the process

That's your opinion, pretending there isn't any history or any reason behind what Trump is doing is just disingenuous. Perhaps the US government should seize all Chinese interests in the US, I'd love to see you cheer that on.

Admit what? That another country violated the law and illegally took resources belonging to the USA that Trump is going to rectify in the interests of our country?

Exactly what resources of ours did Venezuela take from us? Their oil in their soil?

Remember, Trump has a team of expert lawyers advising him on everything he does, what the law is, what their rights are, and what are OUR rights.

Yes, we've seen the "expert lawyers" Trump has hired.

A pack of the dumbest craven clowns ever.

Apparently they nationalized oil which caused the theft of oil owned By Exxon and others. Their oil was sanctioned and thus is being blocked. Their leader apparently stole an election from his citizens most likely via efforts of foreign nations who are enemies of America.

And Trump the moron calls that "our oil". Did we nationalize ExxonMobil while I wasn't looking?

 

[OldFlame]

That's not what Trump said. He said he wants his oil back. Is he lying again?

That's all this is about, 'what Trump said', more TDS bullshit. You're not interested in actually discussing the situation, you only care about tarring and feathering Trump for what he 'said'. Sad.

 

[Zavulon]

Its a war against Iran Cuba Russia and China and we are winning because Biden who was on the take from China refused to oppose them.

Of course you are not winning in any meaningful sense.

Retaliate how against the most powerful navy in the world. Please give us an excuse

We can give you something better than excuse. Something like a good portion of cum directly on your face.

 

[OldFlame]

Another Trump Hater displaying his ignorance. The US developed the Venezuelan oil drilling and refining infrastructure prior to Venezuela "nationalizing" oil in 1976. Class dismissed.

He doesn't want to talk about that, he only wants to talk about what 'Trump said'.

 

[Independent thinker]

If true then we need to bomb China, North Korea, Cuba, and a slew of other nations run by "dictators." Consistency is king.

So, you're answer is yes, it is their tough shit.

 

[cnm]

So it WASN'T a war on drugs. Is that what you're saying? In other words, he lied again?

You don't think that Venezuela should have rights to their own natural resources? Should they not have the right to "look 25 years down the road" for their own sake?

Not while they're living on top of the US's oil.

Since when does a President use the power, force, and weaponry of the US Military against another country on behalf of a private corporation at taxpayer expense? Let Exxon handle their own problems.

Ever since South and Central America existed.

You're probably a nice person so don't take this wrong. But have you ever considered that you may be a member of a cult without actually knowing it? A cult's leader can do or say just about anything and his followers will gulp it down then defend it. Jim Jones & Kool-Aid?

You seem ill equipped to speak on that topic since you don’t recognize that you’re in the actual cult.

Come on now you are smarter than that. He is referring to American companies as opposed to say, oil that was confiscated from China Petroleum and Chemicals corp.

My guess is that these are efforts to avoid war via a full court press. There were sanctions, they have ignored sanctions. Now the oil will be confiscated and it will remain in port. They wish to apply pressure to Venezuelan leadership and stakeholders.

Saddam Hussein was once offered the ability to leave his nation due to this war crimes. He refused.

I don't make the rules, I'm just a dumb Canadian who calls balls and strikes the best I can with an overt bias towards freedom, accountable government and civil liberties.

Have you ever heard of a "banana republic"?

Then China would seize all US interest in China. The US would come out on the losing side of that.

But the US will not do that, the once mighty US is now regulated to being a bully to tiny 3rd world nations

 

[g5000]

Admit what? That another country violated the law and illegally took resources belonging to the USA that Trump is going to rectify in the interests of our country?

Those resources do not belong to the USA. They belong to Venezeuala and Exxon knew that when they took the risk of doing business with a commie dipshit. It was a poor business decision.

It's Exxon's shareholders' problem, not the US government. That's how capitalism works.

Did Exxon give Trump a medal or trophy or something to get him to do their bidding? Maybe they bought some of his crypto?

I assume you meant “relegated.”

Your incorrect word choice isn’t all that significant. It’s your political bias (a pronounced one at that) which is the real revelation from your simpleton post.

Exactly, and you sound like you'd love that, the Chinese seizing all US assets in China.

But it's okay for China to move in on the infrastructure that US companies built in Venezuela at their own expense since they knew the risks. You always were a cheerleader for anyone but the US. Venezuelan aggression is okay cause those that were there knew the risks, American aggression on the other hand, never okay. Standards are always the excuse, it's okay in your world for there to be none as long as it isn't the US not having them, or the victim of others having none.
