WASHINGTON, Jan 4 — President Donald Trump said on yesterday he would allow American oil companies to go into Venezuela to tap its massive crude reserves after a US military operation seized its leader Nicolas Maduro.
The US military carried out a series of air strikes on Venezuela’s capital Caracas early yesterday. Maduro and his wife were captured and flown to New York City, where they face drug-trafficking and weapons charges.
“We’re going to have our very large United States oil companies, the biggest anywhere in the world, go in, spend billions of dollars, fix the badly broken infrastructure, the oil infrastructure, and start making money for the country,” Trump told a news conference in Florida.
Trump also said that “the embargo on all Venezuelan oil remains in full effect.”
Washington imposed economic sanctions on Venezuela in 2017, followed by oil sanctions two years later.
Venezuela produces just under a million barrels of crude a day, according to the Organization of Petroleum Exporting Countries (OPEC), and sells most of it on the black market at steep discounts.
Trump claims Caracas is using oil money to finance “drug terrorism, human trafficking, murder and kidnapping.”
At the start of his second term in 2025, he ended licenses that had allowed multinational oil and gas companies to operate in Venezuela despite the sanctions, with US company Chevron the only one to receive an exemption.
Chevron operates four oil fields in Venezuela in partnership with state-owned PDVSA and its affiliates.
Washington has also imposed a total blockade on sanctioned tankers going to and from Venezuela.
Venezuelan territory contains about 17 per cent of the world’s oil reserves, according to the International Energy Agency (IEA) in 2023, but is far from being a leading producer after years of mismanagement and corruption.
Venezuelan oil is of lower quality and is mostly processed into diesel or byproducts such as asphalt, rather than gasoline. The United States has refineries around the Gulf of Mexico specifically designed to handle it.
“The United States is doing just fine without Venezuelan oil,” Stephen Schork, an analyst at consulting firm the Schork Group, told AFP last month, pointing to political reasons instead. — AFP

Here comes the wankee looters
Venezuela rampassed $5 billion of US oil assets in 1976, today worth $50 billion.
ReplyDeleteUnder the presidency of Carlos Andres Perez, Venezuela nationalized its oil industry on January 1st, 1976. With this move, the country assumed control of the largest and most sophisticated petroleum complex in Latin America. The petroleum industry began to be run by Petroleos de Venezuela (PDVSA). Most affected by the takeover were American subsidiaries such as Exxon Corporation, the Gulf Oil Corporation and the Mobil Oil Corporations which had at the time invested more than $5 billion in the industry.
ooop… AGAIN, mfer, u have that debacle terbalik with ur mfering causality.
DeleteNever for a minute, that how those American subsidiaries such as Exxon Corporation, the Gulf Oil Corporation and the Mobil Oil Corporations rampassed those oil assets in the first place!
Compare GDP per capita between Poland and Venezuela.
ReplyDeletePoland has zero oil. Venezuela has the most in the world. In 1976 Venezuela rampassed US oil assets. See from the chart what happened to their GDP per capita. And Leftists want Venezuela to continue failing like this, rather than grow like Poland.
Venezuela used to be much wealthier than Poland, which was suffering under socialism. Then Poland implemented free-market and capitalist principles and enjoyed an economic boom.
Venezuela chose socialism, which brought poverty and misery to its people.
That’s the difference.

so, how well is Poland living as a begging dog of the Yankee?
DeleteThe elites r in living joys, but the average Poles r just slightly better than the average Venezuelans.
Mom… GDP doesn't give a f*ck about the people feeding at the bottom.
This is how capitalism works, mfer
Let me present a more accurate comparison of the living standard San GDP numerics.
DeleteIn 1990, the Yankee's claimed 25% of the world GDP.
In 2025, the number has dropped to 15%.
Now comparing the to the T20 of the Yankee's top elites, their lifestyle, incomes etc haven't dropped as much as that 10% line. Instead, they r earning more than the dropped indicator.
Yet, the M40 & B40 r the one that suffers the most in terms of lifestyle & incomes.
So, mfer, what gives?
Using the GDP comparison across countries, then one must use apple to apple scale.
Comparing the T20's lifestyle & incomes of A vis-a-vis B. Do the same with the M40 & B40 groupings of both countries.
Remember to factor in the PPP.
Only then, one might discover that the T20 of a developing country like India is having a much much better lifestyle & incomes as compared with the T20 of a developed country like pommieland!
Ditto with the similar results for the M40 & B40 groups of the comparing countries!
Venezuelan woman to leftists.
ReplyDelete"If you haven't lived under a dictatorship 30 years ,shut your mouth. Let us be happy. It's not like US is doing some shit to us.Yes.Shut your mouth.We know our worst,we understand it. But don't do or say anything. Thanks."

similarly, can those Americans who have lived under the ALICE threshold, aka kill line, saying about the samething to am those mfering blurred f*cks
DeleteSocialism ala Venezuela FAILED.

🇻🇪 Venezuela GDP
ReplyDelete2012: $372 billion
2024: $120 billion
Venezuela dropping from three hundred seventy two billion in GDP to just one hundred twenty billion proves socialist policies under Chavez and Maduro crushed the economy while free markets build real wealth for people.

Venezuela economy is been crushed under the Yankee sanctions, coupled with its tyrant influence on all its doggie pacts
Delete"Trump's capture of Maduro is IMPERIALISM! How dare he!"
ReplyDeleteMaduro tried to annex something like 3/4s of the neighboring country of Guyana just last year because oil was discovered offshore. But please tell me more about the horrors of imperialism.
before u fart about country of Guyana, check how it was forms & why there r so many A3 there!
DeleteThe Russians and Chinese are just angry that Western Bully got there first.
ReplyDeleteFor the records of recent military adventurism, how many have the Yankee done compared with the Russian & Chinese?
DeleteIt's not who initiated the first move. It's perception of being a nation living amongst peers.
The Yankees have only me, me first & last
Brief translation: Chairman Xi, your so-called “all-weather strategic partner” Maduro is now on a military plane back to the United States—after China poured over $100 billion into Venezuela, more than 40% of Beijing’s total lending to Latin America.
ReplyDeletehttps://x.com/spotlightoncn/status/2007669553715917096?s=46
People come & go. So too Maduro.
DeleteWait till when the Yankees truly 'governing' Venezuela then u fart about the Chinese investments in Venezuela
>China accounts for nearly 80% of Venezuela's oil purchase
ReplyDelete> CNPC is the largest foreign company with investments in Vez
> CCRC, a chinese private company signed $1 billion deal with Venezuela's state oil company.
With all these at stake, China's heart is burning.
https://x.com/bykarthikreddy/status/2007717663431328143?s=46
Strategize for a necessary long term geopolitical moves by the Chinese.
DeleteMaduro's captured doesn't mean the end of these investments.
If the Yankee fare to exercising any rampassing, there r many countering reactions by the Chinese.
U don't know, but those hawky Yankees, especially trump, r now doing their maths
Venezuela has 300 billion barrels of oil, the largest in the World, worth $17 trillion.
ReplyDeleteTrump says the U.S. now controls it.
The oil is worth more than the GDP of every country in the World except the U.S. and China.
Do you realize what's happening? Will this help US to settle its debt?
https://x.com/mrpinvestments/status/2007686551879462976?s=46
That 300 billion barrels of oil is old old fable. No one actually tell u that most of them r just heavy residue crude, that most of the american refineries required.
DeleteThe Yankee needs to buy them to sustain its oil industries. The lite shale oil has to export as the home refineries couldn't utilized them due to classic technique that required massive investments that the Yankee couldn't spared.
