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.

And, since Lord Trump cannot take Russian oil off the market, by punishing those who buy it, what is plan B for the enrichment of the oil companies? Take Iranian oil off the market? Take Venezuelan oil off the market?

Wiki oil exporters:

Russia 4.78Mbpd

Iraq 3.7Mbpd

US 3.6Mbpd

Iran .9Mpbd

Venezuela .48Mbpd

en.wikipedia.org - List of countries by oil exports

Recall, Rant #1 stated that the invasion of Iraq was to take Iraqi production offline, as Saddam was about to apply to the UN to have sanctions, which limited Iraqi exports, removed. Taking both Iran and Venezuela off line would have a minor impact on global oil markets, compared to taking Russia out of the market, but it's better than nothing.
