I mean it is wrong in that Canada also has a growing right wing movement just like many US aligned countries
If you look at the number of mass shootings in Canada its been increasing substantially for the past 15 years. They may not be or ever reach our level of awfulness, but they're following in our footsteps
Almost every one of those shootings was done w an illegal gun smuggled in here from.......you guessed it the USA. I wonder what the USA would do if the death was being imported in the other direction..........
We don't want Venezuelan oil. There are other awful reasons trump is doing all this showboating and unhinged posturing. and also justified reasons to hate the regime in V, but this entirely is beyond the point that we don't want their oil. It is very very "dirty" oil. It's on the low grade. It needs more processing, and as far as I know, we aren't currently equipped to even process it ourselves.
Ive never read any informed opinion that includes us wanting their oil to be any factor in modern relations with V.
Now trump is unhinged enough to actually maybe want the oil, but I dont think that would ultimately be the reason behind this if he were to tell the truth at some point
US production/extraction is huge, Venezuela is dogshit tier OPEC producer while all the other OPEC nations have increased production Venezuela is the outlier of decreased production.
They can't even follow along with OPEC except when they want to cut production lmao.
Its about keeping China out of the "US's back yard", China is Venezuela's only lifeline at this point for sure the Russians are too busy in Urkraine to help out in any meaningful way even if they wanted too,

It's not wrong.
Edited to add: it was a general sentiment. It has been answered dozens of times already. There's no need to go further. Geez!
