Honestly this was much more impressive than the Bin Laden raid.

Or that totally failed US raid on Tehran:

Okay, are we poor Americans grinding through our lives get the promised $2000/person during the upcoming tax season??

What comes next is what I'm very curious about, both excited and cautious.

We can but wait and see.

We can but wait and see.

And I have already said that for the nth time without it impacting anything, anywhere, anyhow whatsoever... - @VCheng

30 to 50 million barrels a year or month or day? Current output is 800,000 a day and declining fast from its peak output of 3 million barrels a day due to years of sanctions and neglect.

If one is really a Trump fan then watch this guy. I sometimes watch him but in this video, the liberal use of catch words 'WEF, Bankers, European Central Bank, Epstein' etc etc turned me away from this video.
BTW, I am NOT a Trump fan but I try to watch from all sides.

Well, considering Trump just outright lied on a TV address and claim January 6 protest is peaceful and patriotic, he doesn't need anything to divert from all this; he is the kind of person who shoves it all down our throat and asks us if we like it, and if we don't, he shoves it more.

If you ask me, his end game is he is just pissing at Manchado for "stealing" his Nobel Peace Prize, and he invaded Venezuela and gave her nothing, and also he did that simply because he can. I don't think he had any end game to be honest.

It's not going to happen, the head of Chevron said it's going to take 200 billion, 10 years to get Venezuela's oil production back to 1 million barrels a day.

The Bloomberg analysis makes one thing painfully clear: The U.S. didn’t capture Venezuela’s oil, it captured a geopolitical illusion.

For years, Washington convinced itself that:
• Venezuela was sitting on “300 billion barrels of the world’s most desired reserves”
• China depended heavily on Venezuelan crude
• Cutting Maduro off would create a global shock

None of that is true.

1. Venezuela’s so-called “massive reserves” are mostly paper barrels.
The oil is ultra-heavy, ultra-costly, and requires massive refining capacity.

2. China wasn’t the loser.
China’s strategy was structural.
For years it:
• shifted refining toward lighter Middle Eastern crude
• reduced reliance on heavy oil from 38% → 27%
• diversified importing channels
• built massive floating and onshore storage
• upgraded refineries to handle any blend

3. The real winners?
OPEC middleweights, who happily fill the gap and stabilize prices.

4. The real losers?
U.S. consumers, now tied to ultra-heavy crude with massive processing costs.

Meanwhile, Venezuela’s bonds pumped, floating-storage oil soared, and exports quietly redirected to India, Spain, even the U.S. itself.

It was a repeat of the Iraq playbook without the gold to show for it.

America grabbed the headline.
Everyone else grabbed the profit.

Well it is likely US satellites tracked Maduro from that very meeting he had with the Chinese Envoy to the place he was captured.

CIA hacked Maduro's Huawei cell phone. And no the Chinese didn't know about US Ops to capture Maduro. Sure everyone knew the US fleet was parked a few miles off the coast of Venezuela for several weeks as a matter of fact NOTAMS were issued by the FAA for Jan 3 and 4 so it wasn't a secret something was being planned. China knew the US was planning an operation, everyone did but no one would've guessed Maduro was the target. If they did they wouldn't have sent a senior Chinese delegation to meet with Maduro a few hours before the operation.

the US needs heavy oil as feedstock for its refineries so this guy is lying or misinformed.The US will claim Venezuelan oil at steep discounts to pay off money owed to US debtors.

And Zionists can have rest of the world? Deal!

Chevron was the last major U.S. oil company still producing oil in Venezuela many years after others had left. Now the company is in prime position to benefit after U.S. forces captured President Nicolás Maduro and ramped up pressure on the country to welcome greater investment from U.S. energy businesses.
