>Venezuela's oil boom under Trump collapses, per Wall Street Journal>Seven months after President Trump hosted major oil companies at the White House and sought roughly $100 billion in new investments, Venezuela still has only two active drilling rigs — the same number as a year earlierHow is literally everything this guy is doing going wrong? I'm tired of losing
>>540501738The entire country's oil infrastructure is dilapidated. It needs hundreds of billions just to get it up to code.
>>540501904So why did Trump boast that we were getting cheap oil
>>540501738The entire us government is a grift operation. They can't do shit
>>540501996Because he needed to appear tough to his idiot base
>>540501996Because he is lying to you.
>>540501996He's a pathological liar
>>540501738Oil never went to 250 dollars a barrel like you faggots said it would. Endless seething won't change that>venezuual isnt pumping out oil HAHAHAHHAHAHHAHA
>>540501996Because he knows half the country will believe him no matter what
>>540502203Are you referring to the ongoing oil crisis in the past tense? The crisis which has depleted our SPR and which is now destroying America's vassals?
>>540501996He knows that you are stupid and he can manipulate you. Trump's tard wrangling skills are legendary.
>>540501738>>Twitter Screenshot
Oil companies fear a regression to chavista government when Trump leaves power or dies. They need to put a traditional oligarch in the presidency to bring some confidence, and a US military base for backup. Like in Panama.
>>540501738>some kike from wsj said something Ok
>>540502385I am referring the actual price of crude oil right now>bbbut muh redpilled pod casters told meI live in reality and you're chronically onlineGas is 77 bucks a barrel right now YOU NIGGERS claimed it would be over 200It never fucking came close because you live in a constant state of dread since you're addicted to the internettake a week off and get back to me
>>540502385TPTB want a pipeline to go from Saudi Arabia and possibly other GCC to Israel to bypass the strait of hormuz in the future.
They did just have a massive earthquake but yeah it was always a retarded idea.
>>540502677crude doesn't matter Diesel prices are what matters fag.
>>540501996Literally everyone who knows anything about oil industry was telling you it's pure bullshit.
>>540502677>YOU NIGGERS claimed it would be over 200Link who told you that oil would trade at $200 no later than this date. If you can't find that, then explain why the price of oil will only go down from here now that the SPR is depleted and infrastructure is still destroyed
>>540501996He's a retard and a liar. No refund :)
>>540502819Iran are the powers that be. Iran decides if oil infrastructure in the gulf exists or not. Iran decides if missiles rain on Tel Aviv or not.
>>540501996Because that's not why he went in? Maybe
>>540501996because in modern america the only thing that matters is 60 days worth of speculation
>>540501996we are it just takes time to set up
>>5405042722 more weeks?
>>540504272kek
>>540504294a couple more months kike. It's also a dangerous country. There were leaks claiming the oil companies requested military protection
>how wrongBecause the DoD NEVER learned from the 2005 wargames against iran where the iranians were able to beat the US by simply wasting their time with shit like speedboats.The only thing they *did* learn was that it was a bad idea to put our carriers near the iranian coastline since it exposed them to boarding actions, but they did not learn the basic essentials.On top of this 1) the strategy of the neocons was afghanistan, kurdish, turkey, iraq bitting iran from multiple sides to fuck them up with the US army securing the coasts and 2) no one did shit about the Houthis.The encirclement strategy only works if you totally neuter iran's puppet states which they didn't do because they're stupid.On top of this they keep pushing recruitment making me think they're seriously considering boots on da ground.Bloodthirsty retard cunts.
>>540503495
>>540504376Lol lmao even
>>540505311>It's the DOD's fault.This pic is for you too >>540505926. It was a politically motivated rash decision and a mistake. Don't blame the men and women in uniform for political errors.
>>540501738>Seven months after President Trump hosted major oil companies at the White House and sought roughly $100 billion in new investments, Venezuela still has only two active drilling rigs — the same number as a year earlierBuilding an offshore oil rig typically takes 3 to 5 years from initial planning and design to final on-site installation and commissioning. For massive or complex deepwater floating structures and mega-platforms, the total timeline from discovery to first oil production can stretch from 5 to 10 years.
>>540504272Theres something seriously wrong with the way most people think, they expect instant gratification for everything. Shit takes time, and these clowns expect overnight results
>>540501996Trump is lazyhe doesnt readhe doesn think he doesnt want to understand thingswhen you hear someone like Nixon speak you see an intellectual who understands things in depthTrump has good instincts, but hes ultimately a spoiled billionaire
scam administration, all inversion, and appearances
>>540504376Can you link any evidence of this or did you make up your own plan to trust? How much did you lose in Trump coin?
>>540501996It's notoriously expensive to process into usable products
>>540501996He has been lying for 10 fucking years
>>540505311>which they didn't do because they're stupid.They tried and failed. America invaded Lebanon unsuccessful and also lost against Houthis recently
>>540502005it was at least stable and not run by complete subhuman morons up until the last couple decades
>>540501996I swear you retards think massive projects like this only take a few months to come to light. I wonder if you guys realize things take a long time to do. Rome wasn't built in a day is a saying for retards like you>B-u-ut it's been like 6 months! Why isn't everything done what the hell man!

>>540501996you poor thing
>>540506259Kys
>>540501738
>>540506604I read that, too. The big companies were all telling Trump they can't do anything without better domestic social order, amd Trump's "oil guy," Harold Hamm, was saying he could do it.Can't find the article - might be in propublica.https://fieldnotes.substack.com/p/trumps-original-oil-guy-and-the-iran
with jews you lose lol80 year curse is coming for all of the vassal states as well
Venezuela's existing infrastructure is Mad Max tier. None of their shit works, everything's patched and niggerrigged together, nothing's been maintained for years. The Chinese sailed a floating rig down there last year and it ended up rupturing an underwater oil pipeline and causing a huge leak because nobody knew it was there. They'd just mislaid an entire pipeline. The oil fields in Maracaibo are very deep and quite sweet relative to Orinoco, and it's not as sludgy and difficult to pump, it's basically ready for export, there could be a lot of money made from pumping there. But before you could even start thinking about breaking ground you'd have to spend billions decommissioning all the Ork-tier jugaad trash the Venezuelans have been running for decades. Bringing the existing shit up to code would be even more expensive and insanely complex. Revitalising Venezuelan oil production to western standards to make it useful and profitable is going to be a Panama Canal scale project.
