>Venezuela holds the world's largest proven oil reserves, estimated at over 300 billion barrels, primarily heavy crude in the Orinoco Belt, significantly more than Saudi Arabia or the U.S.https://www.strausscenter.org/energy-and-security-project/venezuela/War is going to happen soon here, isn’t it?{I hope not}
Just make them the 51st state. No need to fight.
SEALs will be sent in first in guessing
>>523987855<listen to this man Trump>
>>523987866First in Last out?
>>523987744Meanwhile they are basically an African tier shithole.How they fell so miserably
The UK has larger reserves in AntarticaVenezuela has gold thats the real prize.
>>523987744why did you finish watching Jack Ryan season 2
>>523990469According to ever economist and investment banker online that I’ve been reading since I’ve made this thread, it’s due to corruption and mismanagement
>>523990501>goldgreat, now India will be involved too
>>523990676Idk what that is, but that full name has 2 first names (one of which is mine)
>>523987744Why wont the niggers at the USA just pay for the oil? Why behave like a nigger?
>>523991410Pay? What does that mean??
>>523991410You are American. Don't talk like the USA isn't also your country.
>>523987866>bzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz
>>523991097Basically they loaded their state oil company with cronies and kept playing retarded geopolitical games with their biggest buyer, which is also the only countries with a large amount of refining capacity that is suitable for dealing with their heavy crude. On top of that the US was redeveloping its own industry so a little protectionism wasn't necessarily a bad thing at the time Trump slapped them with extra sanctions which took a shaky, shitty system and basically imploded it. Latin American politics are retarded and go through boom/bust cycles on the back of resource extraction. Instead of taking a high price period and investing that money in developing new industries they tend to just distribute the surplus, mostly to connected oligarchs but also handouts to stupid proles who will destroy their political systems in exchange for cheap shit (also what the US is doing now).
>>523991634The SEALs have drones too, with marching camoSwedish HATER (who lives in Malmo), PWNED
>>523990469They used to be the wealthiest country on earth when only hispanic population could vote and take government positions. But then they decided to let everyone one. The rest is history.
>>523992035Qrd? Who are these “non-Hispanics”?Like Haitians or something?
>>523987855>just invite savages in your countryretard
>>523987744Still poor as shit with all that oil.I hate the fact so many fucking retards keep parroting shit like "the Iraq war was for oil." They're going to keep saying the same thing for any conflict.
>>523993037>Maduro keeping the leather workers employedWhat a great guy
>>523991410American companies owned or leased a lot of equipment to pump and refine oil, then Chavez seized it.
>>523992081you know who!
>>523993572It was the squash people?!Those shifty fucks
>>523987801>No magazines Classic commie tactics
>>523987744>I hope notWhy?Venezuela is shit at extracting that stuff and you can say a lot about the US but they like money and oil so that shit is gonna get extracted quick and well, obliterating energy prices worldwide for anynation remotely aligned withthe .
>>523991410>Why wont the niggers at the USA just pay for the oil? Why behave like a nigger?We don't care all that much about the oil. We care about the drugs.What we want in Venezuela is a Bukele type who will fuck up the drug smugglers (and as a side effect turn it into a first world country).
>>523991097>corruption and mismanagementYou can just say communism princess.
>>523994079Plus they're America-obsessed commies so you'd probably also get quite a bit of peace and quiet out of it.
>>523994103>princessThere are no monarchs (or class) in gommunism, sweaty
>>523993037>the Iraq war was for oilBut it was. The Iraq war was about maintaining the petrodollar scheme. It's not about stealing oil it's about preventing alternative markets
>>523993692yes... they're out of their fucking gourds
>>523994216>(or class)Some animals are more equal than others.God is real!
>>523990469Their good oil in Maracaibo actually ran out, the orinoco oil takes 10 times more effort to extract and sells at a lower price despite the higher cost of extraction. They were always going to have problems in the best conditions, with sanctions its nightmare mode.
>>523994558Gosh darn it anon, no quipping in class
>>523994079You know you can simply stop drug smuggling within the US mainland, no?
>>523987744Why are they poor then?
>>523994103>corruption and mismanagementTheres only one specific case of communism and mismanagement fucking one of their oil fields, the El Furrial field. This field had some installations related to gas injection, Chavez took it around 2009 and tried to have his own technicians run it, production dropped to half over the next few years. They are doing much better in the rest of the orinoco basin, with production steadily increasing.In Maracaibo production has been declining since 1970.
>>523994678I refuse to believe that the home of the Venezuelan red howler monkey is “poor”It’s inconceivable desu
>>523987801>>523987744Bro, Yanki: you wont reach the second Colombian border alive. Literally tranny army with equips they can barely use that accuratly. Its gonnela be bloody, thats for sure. Many upon many crying american pairs of parents
>>523987866Seals aint fucking shit either
>>523995070Wait a sec, your flag isn’t Israeli? (Genuine question)
>>523995201Delta force guys are perhaps the only people that mog SEALShttps://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Delta_Force
>>523995201>Delta in Iraq a long ass time ago
>>523995327> IsraeliLooks quite like the opposite
>>523995530aren’t they technically a part of Israel? I’m not making a political statement or anything, I just didn’t realize that /pol/ mods recognized palestine
>>523994678Oil isnt enough. They export around 1 barrel of oil per inhabitant per month, its like 50 dollars a month per capita of income.
>>523987744Its easier to peacefully control a regional government than take it through war. Look at Canada, Mexico, as the biggest examples, but all of the Americas. Why go to war when you can buy the government or just back someone you want to rule it?
>>523994079Lol, sure you do
>>523995201>>523995480you must know the jungle like that man (never forget vietcong
>>523993329Nationalizing industries is one of the fundamental rights of a sovereign state. It often is stupid to do since it significantly reduces the country's ability to raise capital from external investors but it's still their right to do so.
>>523987744However, Venezuelan oil is extra-heavy, so it requires technology and investment for extraction and refining that only developed countries have. That's why Venezuelans aren't rich.
>>523987866No congresional approval?They'll send the marines in first
Saudis are not rich either, they live in slums. Oil makes a country rich if it has a small population like that of Qatar
>>523995894It's in everyone's interest, including yours, to do what Bukele has done.For a hundred years, socialists, marxists, and communists have spouted an endless numbers of lies, promises and theories and have delivered only civil war, misery, and backwardness.Now that nationalist Bukele has appeared and actually delivered what the lying communists have promised, there is a way forward.
