More like Donny can't remember where the African continent is and keeps pissing himself.

Who me? Never.

Yes, dont you know "Fisherman?" Is all you need to justify murdering dudes in boats who may or may not be drug runners. Also their boats look like drug boats so fuck em

Bless your heart, I hope you have a better day tomorrow.

The U.S. doesn’t run Venezuelan oil — it regulates who gets to touch it. The Treasury’s OFAC sanctions don’t control production; they choke the financial and logistical pipelines around it. That’s Washington’s leverage — not ownership, but gatekeeping. Venezuela nationalized its oil industry back in the 1970s, and PDVSA still owns every barrel that comes out of the ground.

Right now, the only American company still operating there is Chevron, and even they’re basically on probation. Their projects run under a temporary OFAC license that can be pulled at any time, and they’re not allowed to pay the Maduro government directly. Everything has to go through a U.S.-approved escrow system.

Meanwhile, most of Venezuela’s actual oil exports move outside U.S. reach entirely — crude swapped through China, blended with Iranian condensate, shipped under flags of convenience on ghost fleets that never report their location. That’s not American control; that’s a global workaround to avoid it.

So yeah, the U.S. has influence — financial choke points, compliance pressure, and the ability to turn Chevron’s tap on or off. But control? No. PDVSA owns the wells, China and Iran move the barrels, and OFAC just decides who’s allowed to touch the money.

Edit: Please, I encourage you to fact-check me. Informed decision-making is the key to equitable governance.

Oh, well, bombs away then!

If it works it works

They will keep killing fishermen until Venezuela takes action, and then its ok to invade for that sweet sweet oil. Drill baby drill! USA USA USA!

I mean obviously, this is Hunter Biden's fault in conjunction with Hillary Clinton and the Ghost of Jimmy Carter.

Just as soon as the checks clear

Buuuuuuurrrrrrnnnnn

Yeah, fuck Bear Grylls! Les Stroud for life!
