    Maybe he will pay Maduro to fire on our fleet and offer him exile in Oxnard.

    And I'm not talking Oxnard by the beach I'm talking Oxnard by the onion fields.

    Exxon and others did own oil there but Chavez took those reserves. But I guess the US loves fighting for its corporations.

    U.S. companies like Exxon have pursued compensation for Venezuelan nationalization through international arbitration and have won billions. Part of the risk of doing business in unstable countries is that governments can change course. International arbitration exists to provide some recourse, but it never eliminates the risk entirely. That’s likely why, even if Venezuela were to invite Exxon back tomorrow, the company would be hesitant.

    The U.S. has led the global economy in large part because of its lawful, ethical, and predictable institutions, which reduce these risks. If unpredictability, corruption, or the politicized use of state power continue to increase, that advantage would erode over time.

    I remember when the MAGA cultists @HTM were arguing that the only reason we captured the previous vessel was bcz it was under sanctions. Wonder what excuse theyll tell this time @Amiga

    It must be so tiresome to be a MAGA
