So when I rob someone at gunpoint I can just say they have entered a deal with me to give me their stuff and maybe I’ll throw them back a penny.
can we please have confirmation from the side of Venezuela? not much has been true of what Trump says
We made a deal with ourselves basically?
And by deal, he means kidnap the leader and steal the country’s oil.
So he’s stealing 65 billion barrels of oil from Venezuela. And he’s probably threatening them with war and death if they don’t “sign on”.
not really, this “deal” covers fields that are untapped or in heavy disrepair. will take years of infrastructure buildoit to exploit and it’s unlikely any serious capital will be rushing to do that, as historically when the US has done this to venezuela…after the admin switches hands they just nationalize that infrastructure and go back to business as usual.
this is just venezuela leadership telling trump and co. “sure…whatever, now leave us alone” in the hopes they’ll fuck off get distracted by something else until being replaced by a sane actor shortly.
same as every other deal of supposed investment with the US, UK/South Korea etc. agree to some stupid figure in a half-assed promise for trump and co. to parade on headlines. then they forget you exist and fuck off
Kidnapping a country’s leader and then capturing the oil refineries and oil fields is NOT the definition of a “deal” 🙂
Venezuela is now a subservient resource colony for Trump’s billionaire friends to exploit and pillage.
This is what they tried to do to Canada as well during the last trade negotiations.
The growing oligarchy in the US is a parasite that kills its host. It can only survive if it finds new hosts to infect.
Chávez must be turning in his grave
Is that the deal where the US stops attacking fishermen, and Venezuela pays the ransom?

Pretty much, if there had ever been so much as a joint on one of those boats Donnie would have been parading it around as justification
Probably more like we get their oil and in return we won’t depose their new puppet ruler.
You should be focussing on deposing your own pedophile ruler buddy.
Don’t call me buddy, guy, I’m not your buddy.
He didn’t call you his buddy
Does He still have Maduro kidnapped somewhere?
He’s at Rikers last I heard
Considering how little we teach the Banana Republic era in schools I wonder how few Americans recognize what’s going on here. How many of them know about the American conquest of Haiti or the Dominican Republic or any of the other dozen countries America conquered and pillaged.
LOL, “deal”.
BRB gonna make a deal at the house down the street where I show up with a gun and they give my ownership and praise me for it daily
Venezuela has twice nationalized the oil infrastructure, 1976 and 1999. Meaning they kicked out the foreign companies that invested and built infrastructure. This is why Trump couldn’t find any companies willing to do it a third time. So now it seems the US is gaurantieeng the security with this “lease”. This is a scary prospect all the way around.
New forever war started
“Deal”
