"The U.S. attack on Venezuela has no defensible legal rationale, no international coalition, and no occupation force to manage the situation. With the exception of Israel, it has elicited widespread concern around the world, which is no doubt muted given Trump’s volatility and trigger happiness with retaliatory tariffs."

"On Tuesday evening, Trump announced on Truth Social that Venezuela would be 'turning over' between 30 and 50 million barrels of oil. The heavy crude will be 'brought directly to unloading docks in the United States.'

The Wall Street Journal reported that Trump’s announcement was 'good news for Gulf Coast refineries that are configured to run heavy crude including from Venezuela.'”

"At the top of that list is Citgo, a company designed to process Venezuelan oil in the U.S. Bloomberg reported on Wednesday that Citgo 'may emerge as one of the biggest beneficiaries of President Donald Trump’s plan to bring millions of barrels of the country’s oil to the US.'”

"Trump doesn’t see nations; he sees balance sheets. He doesn’t respect sovereignty; he prices it. He doesn’t ask what’s legal or moral; he asks what he gets to keep.

From Iraq to Venezuela. From oil fields to ice fields. From the 26th floor of Trump Tower to the Oval Office.

It was about the oil then.
It’s about the oil now."

Trump’s Hostile Takeover Doctrine

Trump never stopped seeing war as a hostile takeover, oil as the prize, and the presidency as a landman’s chair; where sovereignty is negotiable and profit always comes first.
