This is going to do wonders for getting US oil companies to invest in Venezuela. Nothing makes people want to work in another country like a having a sense of personal danger.

That will work well for Trump.
"We need to secure the safety of Americans in Venezuela. We have not declared war on Venezuela. We are not at war with Venezuela. Its a Special Military Operation. It will last 3 days."

If you're a US citizen in Venezuela who didn't flee after say the 100th innocent fisherman got executed by Trump you likely have an extra chromosome.

Yeah, Trump's such a great businessman. Kidnap the leader of a country, killing dozens, followed immediately by a threat to do much worse if the remains of the government does not bend the knee to let him come in and take the country's resources. Then he expects the country to be ingratiating to American companies and their workers. Great job.

You know what?
After they helped elect Dear Leader, I think these businessmen and CEOs deserve the fruits of their labor. Venezuela awaits gentlemen, Trump told you it is a great investment. Let's give them a one way ticket.
And Trump said that Venezuela was under control. Seems that Delcy can't do the job since Diosdado Cabello now controls the forces de facto. Is trully dangerous the situation then
Trump in 2023:
When I left Venezuela was ready to collapse. We would have taken it over. We would have gotten all that oil. It would have been right next door. But now we’re buying oil from Venezuela. So we’re making a dictator very rich. Can you believe this? Nobody can believe this.
Their oil is garbage. It’s horrible. The worst you can get. Tar. It’s like tar. And to refine it you need special plants … We have liquid gold. The best, most beautiful stuff you can get. Liquid gold. Better than gold. Right under our feet … But with Venezuela, they put their oil and they refine it in Houston! So all those pollutants go right up in the air … So, we lose economically. And we also lose from an environmental standpoint. Because it is really dirty stuff. The dirtiest stuff you can imagine...

“Garbage”: How Trump used to talk about Venezuelan oil
The US is going to extreme lengths to control oil that Trump used to regularly disparage.

Chevron is the only game in town here. Nobody else has any desire whatsoever to deal with this. I expect PDVSA to export its own production through them, for which Chevron will pay them market price.
Let me guess. Donnie doesn’t need congressional approval to give billions of taxpayer dollars to oil companies. And billions more to “rebuild” Venezuela.
Exxon straight up told Trump that Veneziela is "uninvestable"
Maga seems giddy about paying billions of our taxpayer money to "rebuild" Venezuela. There won't be barely any oil coming from Venezuela to pay for it.
He’s telling companies to send their employees at the same time he’s warning Americans to leave and not go there. Trump said HE was in charge down there. HE's "running Venezuela". So this is all going well? ...

Trump said ConocoPhillips will get a lot of its money back, but the U.S. would start with a clean slate. "We're not going to look at what people lost in the past because that was their fault," Trump said before asking Lance how much ConocoPhillips lost in Venezuela.
Lance said his company was owed $12 billion.
"Well, good write-off," Trump remarked
lol,lmfao
Financial Times: US shale bosses have warned Trump that his mission to seize Venezuela’s oil sector and drive down crude prices will put American output on the chopping block. “We’re talking about this administration screwing us over again,” said a top executive
lolx2
Bessent says "big oil companies who move slowly, who have corporate boards, are not interested" in Venezuela.Instead, "independent oil companies and individuals, wildcatters -- our phone's ringing off the hook. ... They want to get to Venezuela yesterday."
Yikes.....

Actually this is a great idea because they'll all get themselves killed or kidnapped.

I've seen that on the news. How can the whole room pretend he's not an empty vessel? OK, his minions, I can understand, but the rest? The press? That's North fucking Korea, not USA

We have no kings protests every week in my town. It doesn’t seem to matter anymore.

It’s obvious people care about their own security over trying to remove a person from office.

Just Nazi things.
No one is safe.

Disillusioned with the revolution after 68 years of US sanctions and a shattered economy, one in four Cubans have left in four years. Can the regime, and country, survive the engulfing ‘polycrisis’?

Maybe Trump wants to get rid of Rubio by giving Cuba, which... might end worse if Rubio is out and replaced with another worse than him.

Halfway Post isn’t quite onion level but they have some funny stuff sometimes. Worth checking out their entire feed.
Now that at least one of the big oil companies are saying that ‘Venezueler’ is not good for business/the bottom line, this rotten to the core administration needs a new excuse to go bomb them?
The" President of Peace" is asking for a 50% increase in the defense budget. That says so much about where we are as a nation that I don’t know where to start with my criticism.
