    Sounds like a solid way to get generations of Venezuelans to focus their hate to the USA for essentially a installed puppet regime. It's not like their life gets improved, but now the US is responsible for it instead of the existing regime.

    What have I lied about? Go ahead, make a list.

    The sad part of you hating someone who doesn't trust or respect Trump is that it's for that exact reason. It makes no sense to trust a pathological liar. He lies all the time. Why is it that when people fact check the lies it makes you angry?

    For a starter, why lied about your voting records? Nobody gives a shiit about who you voted for but for someone who claimed that they voted for Republicans in the past but their posts are nothing but take after take of the woke mind virus crap with a heavy dose of TDS.
    That makes you a faker and full of bunk. Lol

    Just come straight out and admit that you’ve always been that woke leftist chic. The truth will set you free.

    Meanwhile, PBS reporter says the White House informed some congressmen that the Venezuelan oil money will be held in "off-shore" accounts. This, after Trump said that he would be the one controlling the money.

    You don't need a weather man to know which way the wind blows.

    I have an off-shore account. You can have one too but I’d really doubt that you know how it works.

    I'm not fan of hers but what happened to Liz Cheney sticks in the heads of everyone.

    Democrat constituents want to win like Republicans but Republicans win because they abandon causes to circle wagons

    They understand which is obvious, you can't do **** if you didn't win your election

    See, there you go. You seem to have no problem calling people liars or spewing your nasty and ridiculous slander with absolutely no proof whatsoever. You just do it because you get so angry when people tell the truth. That part is pretty clear. What's not clear is why you get so angry that people like me don't support or defend a flat out liar like Trump. You know how easy it is to fact check lie after lie after lie, but still get angry when people do that. Maybe you should direct your anger to the jerk lying to your face.

    Trump has "gun boats off the coast of Venezuela, threatening the Venezuelan government. Either they let the US steal their natural resources or we will will bomb them to hell and back. That's their choice.

    Trump, holding the proceeds from the oil sales in an offshore account, makes the his promise to give back the money to the Venezuelan people super sketch. Trump appears to be going full Putin here. All of the money belongs to Trump.

    As an aside, Trump said that Venezuela will have elections. I strongly suspect that Trump intends to do the counting, to guarantee the oil continues to flow and his offshore bank account continue to grow.


    Akalyla Gardner and Vaughn Hillyard of MSNOW report on the plans of the Trump regime to steal Venezuela’s oil as they can.

    The Trump administration is pursuing plans to sell oil from Venezuela and control the proceeds itself, Energy Secretary Chris Wright announced on Wednesday in an extraordinary assertion of American authority over another country’s natural resources.

    Wright told energy executives that the administration would conduct the sales and that proceeds would be “deposited into accounts controlled by the U.S. government,” with some eventually flowing “back into Venezuela to benefit the Venezuelan people,” though he provided no details on how the money would be distributed or spent. [...]

    A senior administration official told MS NOW that sales of Venezuelan oil will continue indefinitely, with approximately 30–50 million barrels expected to be sold immediately. The administration is actively removing certain sanctions on Venezuela to allow for the crude oil and refined products to reach global markets, the official added.

    This is my conspiracy theory.

    China, Russia, USA want to be done with all the little problem maker countries and all 3 are sick of the Muslim ****.

    Do not want a war

    And they are basically telling Europe to stuff it. Probably sounds something like this…

    “We aren’t doing your War and it’s not the 1800s anymore

    Your colonial empires are long over.

    So STFU and stop trying to pretend you are still relevant.

    You have no energy, no collateral, not enough gold or oil and your currency is ****. You don’t get to be world regulators and try and fine, tariff and tax the world anymore.

    Oh and you invited the barbarians in…

    You are a conquered land

    Good luck with that”

    VENZ was the first step?

    geopolitical lines being redrawn?

    I'll help:
    An offshore account is a bank account held in a country different from your residence, offering benefits like currency diversification, asset protection from local instability, privacy, and access to international markets, useful for expats, travelers, or global businesses, but it must be used legally, reporting foreign income as required by your home country's tax laws.

    Is Trump putting Venezuelan oil money into your offshore account, too?

    Pulitzer economist reveals 'trivial sum' Trump’s Venezuela oil scheme will bring to US

    With American forces having captured Venezuelan President Nicolás Maduro and taken him to a federal detention center in New York City — where he is facing drug charges — U.S. President Donald Trump is saying that the United States will be "running" Venezuela, including its oil supply. Trump is promising that Venezuela will be "turning over" 30-50 million barrels of oil to the United States and greatly benefitting the U.S. economy in the process.

    But liberal economist Paul Krugman, in his January 8 Substack column, argues that most Americans will see little benefit from Trump's quest for Venezuelan oil.

    "Trump would have you believe that it's a big deal — MILLIONS of barrels," Krugman explains. "But that amount of oil has a market value in the range of $2 billion, which is not a big number for the United States. In fact, it's less than 0.01 percent of GDP. And in terms of U.S. oil consumption, that's about two days' worth of oil."

    The former New York Times columnist continues, "However, Trump says that the money from selling the oil 'will be controlled by me.' And while $2 billion is a trivial sum from the perspective of national interest, it's a fairly big number if the money is diverted into the hands of the clique that is currently running the U.S. government."

    I'm not a liar, just because you act childish and call me one because I call out Trump's lies. It sounds just like the type of thing he does. I can list Trump's lies and flat out bullshit all day long, and you will still rage on and on at me claiming he's not a liar. LOL
