So how long until Venezuelans kill Americans, take a few of them hostage, and Americans start foaming at the mouth saying this unprovoked act of aggression needs to be addressed by killing as many Venezuelans as possible?
Time is a flat circle with the stupidest empire trying to control the entire earth....
We can't use it because it's not the right grade for our refineries. Art of the deal
"Negotiated" - and all it took was a bit of bombing and shooting and kidnapping and forced regime change and oil theft. It's like the school bully announcing they've negotiated a deal whereby the nerds will give them their lunch money.
I know the kidnapping is implied in forced regime change in this case, but explicitly calling it kidnapping helps clarify the heinousness of the crime. Probably fair to call it psychological torture, too.
They were saying that they need like $100 billion in investments to get Venezuela back up just to its own peak oil production (which is still small compared to other producers) and only like single digit percentages of that have been pledged over the next five years. Also Venezuela’s oil is a poor quality acidic sludge which can only be refined with specialized equipment like at America’s Gulf Coast refineries and it must be diluted with expensive imported fluids prior to shipping to be usable so exporting it is uneconomical when oil prices go down.
