Interesting. I wonder if they also have rare earth minerals or anything else we need to steal, um exploit, errr borrow, … These people seem to forget our history: we are terrible at nation building. We have no plan beyond “regime change”. Eventually, the people who we “liberated” want us to leave

The greed of billionaires is insatiable. The billions they make here are not enough. So, Trump decided to go take over Venezuela so they can make more billions. Its so disgusting.

How about all the money he & his family have made treating our country as an entity that enriches them instead of a democracy that is supposed to serve We the People, so each one of us can thrive, be safe. Bring back the safety nets. They provide a foundation that spurs a healthy type of growth.

oh, ok. That explains everything. But now tell me who is going to spend billions of dollars to build an infrastructure to extract oil from Venezuela (whose oil, by the way, is currently controlled by the military), when oil is currently selling for $55/barrel and there is a glut of supply?

Venezuela's oil is primarily extra-heavy, sour crude, making it difficult and costly to extract and refine, requiring specialized equipment meaning it's less valuable on the market and harder to process into everyday fuels like gasoline and diesel, often selling at a significant discount.

This is like a Private Equity takeover but of a country. The Trump Regime is going to pay themselves in resources "to run the country" while the Venezuelan people are left to "service the debt" with worse conditions than before the takeover.

Oh, their oil will pay for all this! (Where have I heard that before?) Republicans in Congress are cowardly morons.

Is that code for “young girls on the pipeline to trump”? Maybe if we released the FUCKING EPSTEIN FILES, we might not have to worry every night what in the hell is going to happen before we wake.

soo… gop endorses theft. cool “CNN: Are you okay with the US running Venezuela when there are a lot of problems that Americans are complaining about here? Trump says he's going to spend billions of dollars in Venezuela REP. CARLOS GIMENEZ: Yeah, but Venezuela has billions of dollars of resources”

I would like someone to run the numbers and show Americans in Excel spreadsheets how this is going to work. It’s easy to throw out “billions in resources”, but what exactly does that mean? Chevron’s going to pay for this? Yeah, I don’t think so.

Epstein files, do not look presidential. Start a war, look presidential. Quarterly dementia tests, do not look presidential. Start a war, look presidential. Affordability, do not look presidential. Start a war, look presidential. Historic Disapproval, do not look presidential. Start a war

For once I would like the media to be ahead of a story. This "war" was about BRICS forming a oil trading currency and it was about toppling Cuba (propped up by Venezuela). Why do you think Trump was so eager to put Oil at the main reason so nobody would look closer at what who (Rubio)was behind it.

Absolutely that’s what he’s saying!!! I also gather this statement is a warning & in layman’s terms he’s saying FAFO as DJT regime will bring its gangster military powers down on any nation that doesn’t do what he wants!

So the oil companies are going to redistribute their profits from stolen Venezuelan resources for the good of the average American? This is how taxpayers will be refunded the billions we're spending on this vile project? OF COURSE NOT.

Yes we need to ask and keep asking. We shouldn't accept that even though it should be that way, we won't ask those questions aloud and give voice to it.

The Venezuelan oil belongs to Venezuelans. Arresting Maduro doesn’t change that fact. Unless the USA just overthrew Venezuela, which is a war crime.

Venezuela is a large poor country. Does he think everyone there will let American oil companies come in a steal their natural resources easily? There will be guerilla warfare. American military will have to be stationed there to protect wealthy oil companies not everyday Americans!

Those oil reserves do absolutely nothing for the American people and everything for Trump, his family, the rich billionaires, the investors…
