Someone just tried to assassinate Trump

Yes, the same goes for Venezuela. it wasnt about drugs its about oil and influence.

I think it's all about the oil, free the countries, install new leaders, take oil as repayment for years to come.

Less drilling in the USA that would take years to ramp up thanks to the biden policies and fewer lawsuits from the green fucks slowing the drilling process even more.

Is it a win/win for the world and America? personally, I don't think so, it also eliminates job creation in the USA, and we get inflation fucked again.

Democrats are already playing the inflation and jobs angle, the issues THEY created

For people concerned about rising oil prices in the USA, this chart from Wikipedia should make it clear how little we now depend on middle-eastern oil imports. We do import a lot of oil, but it is mostly from Canada.

But combined is less than 20% of all Chinese oil. They got 3% from Venezuela. Hardly a drop in the bucket for China.

I think those numbers are skewed because both countries operate ghost fleets to escape sanctions.
