He's going to announce war with Venezuela. Because of fentanyl... Which doesn't come from Venezuela.

    Shitty oil that's very expensive to process (and can realistically only be processed in the US). Venezuelan oil only makes sense when the price of oil is guaranteed to be high.

    How do you keep the price of oil high? Decrease gas mileage standards for cars and trucks. Start stupid wars. Un-subsidize electric cars. Make it more profitable to produce gas guzzling trucks than sedans.

    This Venezuela thing is just another step in the oil billionaire TODO list.

    The US needs heavy crude. It must come from either Canada or Venezuela. Canada told him to pound sand with his 51st state rhetoric, so that leaves Venezuela taken by force.

    Wasn’t China trying to develop a more efficient way to process that type of oil? Makes sense why they went for the Panama Canal and now that that didn’t work they’re openly doing piracy
