We will benefit from this

[OldFlame]

I already said i agree that duopoly voters are too stupid to wake up. What more do you want?

And until they do, I'll take the 'lessor of two evils', it's not even close.

 

[Nostra]

Then why is China heading to be the biggest economy in the world?

Why aren’t millions fleeing to China, Comrade? Why aren’t you living there?

Paying for what? Lower gas prices? Whatever they spend to get oil rigs running again will come back 10 fold in gas and shipping price reductions. EVERYTHING will get cheaper from having low gas prices.

You just stated the main reason why oil companies probably wont go along with this neocon bullshit.

 

[CowboyTed]

Wow, 'war for oil' is about the only worn-out mantra the opposition can grasp, regardless of the fact we aren't at war, and we did a lot more to protect our interests in our hemisphere while crippling any plans or interests Russia, China, Iran, Hamas and Hezbollah had in Venezuela.

I guess it all depends on which ball you want to chase, and whether or not you would prefer your federal government handling International Affairs as part of the 18 enumerated powers identified in the US Constitution, or dragging grandmas at local school board meetings off for questioning regarding their objections to the approved agenda, which should be none of the federal governments business to start with.

Hamas and Hezbollah in Venezuela... When did this happen?

Do they have meetings or is it more of a dating site to meet up?

 

[OldFlame]

We were in Vietnam "temporarily".
We were in Iraq "temporarily"
We were in Afghanistan "temporarily"

We will be running Venezuela "temporarily".

Yet we're not 'in' Venezuela at all.

And thanks, you've shown that you think words are meaningless, just as I stated.

 

[TNHarley]

And until they do, I'll take the 'lessor of two evils', it's not even close.

And I will continue to vote with standards and integrity.

Hopefully, we won't get sucked into a long period there, if any at all.
Trump is well aware of the failures of the past. He gets history a lot more than he's given credit for.
If this goes on and on, I'll be the first to join in the criticism. But, dear God, it's been a couple of days. Don't assume that just because the Deep State actors of the past got us entangled in long-term wars, Trump will do the same.

 

[Godboy]

You just stated the main reason why oil companies probably wont go along with this neocon bullshit.

Your overly pessimistic and clearly biased predictions mean less than nothing. You arent making a good argument. Just hating Trump isnt going to win a debate on this.

 

[OldFlame]

We're not talking about how it fell.
But what's stopping it from getting back on it's feet.

How it fell is what has kept it from 'getting back on its feet'.

 

[OldFlame]

And I will continue to vote with standards and integrity.

Good for you.

And I will continue to vote for the person available that will do the least harm to the country. So you can thank us that vote that way for saving your ass.

Except groceries?

Are you serious? Maduro has been gone for 5 days, you expect to see results already? Are you nuts?

I bet if we lifted the sanctions, you would see their economy get better within weeks.

Just like the did after they invaded Iraq...

This is where you are going to try and blame Democrats, DEI, Epstein,....

 

[OldFlame]

Yeah, it would have nothing to do with Maduro being gone.

And which sanctions? What would make the most impact?

 

[postman]

Wrong. If that were true, we wouldn't have embargoed and sanctioned their oil. Their main income source.

Venezuela's main exports are overwhelmingly dominated by petroleum and crude oil, which account for the vast majority of its export revenue (around 80-90%)

 

[Godboy]

We will be running Venezuela "temporarily".

Yes, we will be running it through intimidation. Do "this" or you get drone striked.

As far as i know, we were actually only in Venezuela for less than an hour. Thats about as temporary as it gets.

 

[Godboy]

Except groceries?

Groceries will cost less if gas costs less.

You know you could ******* google it instead of being a complete ill-informed retard.
It's not a secret.

With Venezuela raid, Trump fires a message to Iran and Hamas. Will they listen?

The bold operation in Venezuela shows the Mideast that the US president is willing to back up his threats, but will likely also convince Khamenei that the US wants regime change, hardening Tehran

As far as Russian interest, at least they recalled the two nuclear bombers they had stationed in Venezuela shortly after President Trump started blowing up drug boats, and President Trump snatched Maduro the day after he met with a Chinese Delegation regarding their partnership over guess what, Oil.

Did you ever stop to wonder whether or not you really have a grasp of the big picture?
Try reading the National Defense Plan of 2026, it's not secret either and you might actually learn something.

Anything stopping them from selling their oil to the highest bidder.

That hasn't happened so far. And certainly not since day one.
