    Adam Johnson of the-podcast was absolutely banging the drum on this all through the end of last year and doing side-by-sides of the legacy media trying to run cover about despotism or whatever BS next to Trump’s clearly articulated vision of controlling VZ oil resources.

    I know it’s bad but if there is anything good about Trump it’s how he has no filter and just blurts out whatever he’s thinking at the time. You know all this didn’t come from him, he’s too dumb, it’s from the DC blob. He is exposing US imperialism to the whole world and it is no longer deniable. I’m off to rub this in the libs faces and watch them say the resources are better off in the hands of someone more competent than Maduro. I’ve gotten very good at spotting rationalization work in real time.

    Venezuela’s Cardon oil refinery. Critics say President Trump’s plan for the country’s oil industry revives bitter memories of colonial exploitation and flagrantly violates international law.

    Of what good is international law if nobody does anything about it?
