Date: January 5th, 2026 2:22 PM Author: Drab Dead Messiness he needs the venezuelan people to rise up and overthrow the communist party, to be a replaced by a "democractic" government that violently suppresses communism for several years until they're dead in the dirt or at least relegated to the jungle. that will be the nasty and prolonged part. only then will the oil majors invest in that shithole.

Instant inject of cash (most will disappear due to fraud, but whatever), while oil companies sort out how to shift the country back over to US system.
There are a ton of existing contracts overlayed on those oil fields that overlap from prior violations during the past two decades. I hope that doesn't slow things down. They'll need to start the flow of coke back to the EU asap not flame. EU banks and narco types are the Iraq insurgency here. |

Date: January 5th, 2026 2:51 PM Author: flatulent yellow new version business firm Yep. Profiteering is handled by private actors. I think that's a bit jaded given how there are lots of benefits to this arrangement for all involved, but that's the gist. Western capitalism is the casino and we can't let all that oil money sit on the sidelines. Open the market up and have them try their hand at the blackjack table. We all know how those odds work. You can't just fucking steal it. (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=5817566&forum_id=2#49564451) |
