I saw something earlier that said Venezuelan oil isnt that profitable. I’m huessing duevto difficulties extracting it? No idea if that’s correct or not. If it is it just makes this even dumber.

She’s probably on the road back from Damascus now. No doubt Trump will declare her a terrorist.

Little way down


Venezuela holds the world’s largest proven oil reserves, but it is so-called “heavy, sour” oil. This is harder to refine but useful for making diesel and asphalt, while the US typically produces “light, sweet” oil used to make petrol.

Venezuelan oil sands are very similar to Canada’s deposits. Most projects are just above breakeven at current prices. Any steam-assist projects are likely to be underwater, but Venezuela is likely to have loads of possible projects that are ‘low hanging fruit’ that will at least be in the black around $55

Stephen Miller’s wife:

Europe need a protector - is this the price?

Trump is more likely to pimp Europe out to Putin instead of protecting it. This situation with Trump on one side and Putin on the other is the stuff of nightmares.

That is the flip side of the Monroe doctrine lots of commentators keep missing. It isn’t just about exerting influence across the americas, but leaving Europe alone to resolve its own issues.

Talking about taking over Greenland and actively trying to infuence the political landscape inside European countries isn’t exactly leaving Europe alone.

Which is a fair point (for Greenlanders to make, if they wish), but that doesn’t make them US American either.
