After Trump's illegal Venezuela raid, I called it out for what it was: A reckless act of war to grab Venezuelan oil for US oil companies & Trump's billionaire buddies. Now, the same people who said I was wrong then are celebrating Trump’s oil 'deal.' It should outrage us all.

There seems to be some confusion over at the White House about the difference between supporting the Venezuelan people’s fight for democracy & invading Venezuela to grab their oil for Trump’s billionaire buddies. Here’s a hint: one of them is an act of war. Hope this helps 👍!

So Trump didn’t think anyone was smart enough to catch it when he said that The Oil Companies were going to pay for the rebuilding of the Oil Processing Infrastructure in Venezuela! Then he said,but we will be reimbursing them for it! So who will the Oil money be going to then!

US forces attacked and seized an oil tanker off the coast of Venezuela. Trump claims the US will keep the oil. Is Trump's "war on drugs" just a pretext to get his hands on oil? Trump's "We're keeping it" could be proof. Classic resource imperialism that will set the region ablaze.

SNEAKO reacts to reports of Venezuela sending crude oil to Israel for the first time in years following the U.S. capture of Nicolás Maduro. 🇻🇪🇮🇱 “I’m vindicated. Venezuela sends oil to Israel for the first time in years following the capture of President Maduro. I told you this is what it was about. Everyone knew the justification for capturing him was bullshit, it was about oil. Everything Trump has done in the second term has been to benefit Israel, not America. I’ll gladly accept apologies from people who said I was wrong.”

“Here in Venezuela, we have oil for more than 100 years. The US is running out of oil. The most important reason why the US wants to put a government here that is subordinate to it, to the empire, as they had for a long time, is Venezuelan oil.” 🇻🇪Venezuelan leader Hugo Chávez in 2009

US President Donald #Trump’s claim that Venezuela must return "our oil" and "our land" may sound bold, but it collapses under even the most basic historical and legal research. #Venezuela’s oil was never #US property; it belonged to the Venezuelan state, extracted by foreign companies under contracts that enriched multinationals while leaving the country poor and unequal. When Venezuela reclaimed control of its economy to fund healthcare, education, and poverty reduction, US financial and oil sanctions crippled its economy. The myth of "stolen oil" obscures a simpler truth: Venezuela refused to remain dependent.

Trump just admitted the US wages war to steal oil from socialist countries: “We're taking a lot of oil from Venezuela, billions and billions of barrels of oil. It's one of the most fertile places for oil in the world, and it was a 48-minute war. To the victor belong the spoils.”

Q: You said the US is going to run Venezuela, so who is in power right now? Trump: We are going to be running it with the group, and we are going to make sure it runs properly. We are going to rebuild the oil infrastructure, which will cost billions of dollars, and it will be paid for by oil companies.

History shows that America's post-WW2 regime change enthusiasts are almost always wrong. And in Venezuela, it appears Trump has spent billions on a mission that has left the same people in charge. Just maybe with more favorable deals for Trump's oil buddies.

🚨 FOX JUST CONFIRMED IT. Trump locked in more than 65 BILLION barrels of Venezuelan oil. He called it the biggest oil deal in world history. Nine months after U.S. forces grabbed Nicolás Maduro. That crude was sitting under a failed socialist state and Chinese fingerprints. Now it’s under American control. No war for it. No taxpayer check for the reserves. U.S. companies develop it. U.S. drivers feel it. Energy dominance isn’t a speech. It’s a deal. Trump knows exactly what he’s doing.

Trump-"India will be buying Venezuela's oil as 'opposed' to Iran oil. We've already made that deal"😂 “China is welcome to come in & we would make great deal in oil"😂 Abe Sutiye, Deals are signed with manufacturers & not with pimps. PM .Narendra Modi Ji has already spoken with Interim President of Venezuela. So stop lying that Bharat has signed any deal with US for Venezuelan Oil. And didn't U say .Donald J. Trump, that U attacked Venezuela to stop China buying oil from it. Now offering oil to China?😂 FACT- Trump is screwed. He did all Nautanki to take control of Venezuelan Oil. Now neither US Cos ready to explore oil in Venezuela nor is he finding buyers.😂

President Donald Trump referred to Venezuela as a “dead country” in comments to reporters onboard Air Force One on Sunday. The president also called for investments from oil companies to “bring back the infrastructure” of the South American nation. “The oil is just flowing at a very low level. Much lower than — even if it was badly run, it should have more income, more oil than what they're doing,” Trump said. “So, we're going to have the big oil companies go in, and they're going to fix the infrastructure and they're going to invest money." Trump's comments came a day after the U.S. military captured Venezuelan President Nicolás Maduro and flew him to New York to face narco-terrorism charges.

Q: "Is it possible that the US ends up administrating Venezuela for years?" Trump: "It won't cost us anything because the money coming out of the ground is very substantial...The oil companies are going to go in. They're going to spend money. We're going to take back the oil that frankly we should have taken back a long time ago."
