China and Russia are building flying cars that can be street ready in the next decade or so.

We got duped by big oil executives who are afraid of innovation.

Nuclear is the future, not oil.

We invaded Venezuela to stop the importation of dangerous drugs.

China gets over 80% of its oil from Venezuela and Iran. Both regimes that either have been, or are currently collapsing. China is fricked. They did it to themselves.

Not a lot of nuclear based products on the shelf these days.

Better to say nothing and be thought a fool than to speak and remove all doubt.

controlling those revenues from oil, and stunting those from drugs, is how we change the regime (people or behavior... we don't care which) without risking the sons & daughters of Americans.

It is really that simple. Do what we want or stay poor and hungry.

This was much more about hurting Russia and China and getting their nose out from under the tent than it was about protecting the US from Drug smuggling. The Monroe Doctrine at work.

So what if we did? Nothing wrong with that. A nation acts in its own self-interest. Oil is a big part of that.

We invaded Venezuela for the crimes that they have committed on our country

Thousands of kilos of Drugs
Election rigging
Killing their own citizens
Starving their own citizens

their payback from us liberating them is to pay us back with oil. How fricking difficult is that to comprehend?

If the future is nuclear flying cars, I’m moving into deep wilderness.

We did what we did for a multitude of reasons. Some with direct benefit to the US and some to hurt China and Russia.
