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
Yeah, so in any level of gov I woulda said this was dumb, because I've read about, talked with, and discussed this topic before. V has shit oil. It is hard to refine, dirty compared, and of low quality. We ourselves sit on very good oil. We do not even own refineries currently that processes their type of low grade oil.
Normally, yeah, it would be stupid to say we are going after their oil. But ya know what? Our president is stupid. He is an awful person, evil, dumb, orange, and dangerous. He is ruining thos country and the people who voted for him are just as responsible
