Trump orders blockade of 'sanctioned oil tankers' into Venezuela, ramping up pressure on Maduro
“Venezuela is completely surrounded by the largest Armada ever assembled in the History of South America,” Trump said in a post on his social media platform. “It will only get bigger, and the shock to them will be like nothing they have ever seen before — Until such time as they return to the United States of America all of the Oil, Land, and other Assets that they previously stole from us.”https://currently.att.yahoo.com/news/articles/trum...Steve

Taking the oil was the candy Stephen Miller dangled in front of Dozy Don to get him to go along with a war, but his own goal is to have a place to send all the brown people. Millions of Latinos now living in America will soon become Venezuelans.

There was persistent chatter, in the summer of 2024, that Trump told the assembled CEOs of "big oil", if they have him $1B, he would give them everything they want. So far, he has eased emissions regs, eased vehicle fuel economy regs, eliminated EV subsidies, and, now, targets foreign oil reserves. Pretty good payback, for a paltry $1B. These days, he would probably want $10B for these services.

The Beeb, tonight, reported the Pirate King's threat to retake "our" oil from Venezuela, but the local NBC affiliate's late news only talked about drugs and human trafficking.
The local news also reported the Pirate King will deliver another delusional tirade to the nation at 9pm Wednesday.

Back in the 1960s when I was a kid, my dad would rail against the influence that big oil had in US politics.
Nothing has changed.

THE BEST IS YET TO COME!
He is obviously thinking of himself, his family and oligarch cronies.
The grifting is grand!
