The week's question
In March 2025, in the thread "Re: OT, out", Umm asked the members: "Do you think it is because America is made up of magical soil that makes businesses based in America magically profitable?" This week it is put to everyone again. The button below opens the small thread re-asking it - read what others have said so far, then give your own answer as an ordinary reply.

Hmm. That's not the question I asked you. I asked who was in charge of their oil exports. I'll answer for you - Trump is.

You are correct. After the snatch operation, God in human form Trump stated the blockade remains in place. The only places oil from Venezuela can be shipped to are places Trump the God approves. Everything else is subject to hijacking by US forces.

Trump, the Picture of Virile Perfection, is all about control: control of Venezuelan oil, control of the Panama Canal, control of Greenland's minerals. Control itself has value to an extortionist.
