Subject: Re: Meanwhile, in Venezuela...
You're missing the point. A Venezuela in US orbit...does what for the global order? Who *doesn't* count Venezuela as a satellite country in that case?

I was responding to a comment about future Venezuelan oil production. Obviously, there's a million things relevant to Venezuela that are separate from oil production, but those aren't the things I was responding to.

If you didn't want the thread to include discussions about oil production, why did you bring it up?
