Or have reporters who have the balls to ask them if they know how ridiculous they sound when they say stupid shit

Yep. I guess soccer spray has bowed out, but the reason I mentioned “socialism” coming to Venezuela in the mid 70’s in response to his post is that the people did well until the late 90’s, when an autocratic demagogue was elected, consolidated power in the executive, and dismantled all institutions and killed democracy, ultimately leaving them in a famine. Trump is following tha playbook to the letter. Yet people like soccer spray think it’s “socialism” that is the problem
Oh and their prosperity continued for another 12 to 15 years after Chavez came to power. He didn’t siphon money into his personal coffers like most autocrats but is family and inner circle were worth between 15 and 30B when he died.
Venezuela GDP was around 550 B in 2013 when it crashed and around 260 when he died.

The more I think about I think this is going to go pretty smoothly in terms of power transfer. All the right people in the remaining govt as well as the opposition, and the military have been bought off in the past several weeks.
The US “contractors” are going to use taxpayer money to rebuild the infrastructure and get the oil flowing. The new ruling class in Venezuela will get rich, TrumpCo will get richer. The Venezuelan people may see a little bump from subsistence but their lives won’t be much different (and it’s the best case scenario for them)

Venezuela nationalized the oil industry in the mid 70’s 🧐

Forget the fact that the sole motivation for this coup is to further enrich Trump and his cronies, this is going to cost US taxpayers around a trillion dollars, and the only material change in Venezuela itself is the country’s wealth will flow to the US oligarchs rather than Russia and China.

46 minutes ago, atomheartbevo said: Oh, and before American oil companies go in there, we probably should, and I'm just spitballin' here, we can workshop the details later on, but I think we should probably secure the country first. We start sending in oilfield workers and engineers without, I dunno, having boots on the ground, well I don't think it will end well.
And that's putting aside the fact that it's not really our business to help companies deal with really bad decisions on where they invested in the first place.

All I see is someone talking Mexican and a woke sign language interpreter. How can anyone know what’s being said

We are just blowing through stop signs and red lights, and flipping the bird to the world in the process. It is not a “flex” to topple a regime. It is criminal.
The daily Texan legal brain trust has all of the pertinent case law curated for you if you want to head over there.
