This is absolutely insane:
Venezuela currently has 303 billion barrels of crude oil reserves, which Trump says the US now controls.
Oil prices are trading at ~$57/barrel, making Venezuela's total reserves worth $17.3 TRILLION.
Even if the US sells this oil for HALF of the market rate, that's still $8.7 TRILLION.
In other words, in 12 hours, the US has gained control of oil reserves worth more than the entire GDP of ALL countries in the world, aside from the US and China.
That's 4 TIMES larger than the GDP of Japan.
Most people do not realize how much the world just changed.
Oil markets will react to this news for the first time on Sunday at 6 PM ET.
The next few days will be critical.

To the victor go the spoils.
The US, winner of the 7 minute war, ladies and gentlemen.

Theres a certain way to feel about capturing a nation's President, taking over operations of their government, seizing their natural resources and selling them off to pay down the reckless debt our own dumbass politicians have run up.
I'm just not sure what that is yet.

Sarcasm? At the very least, we will get back the leases American companies had before Maduro ran them out

Why stop at Venezuela? Let’s continue with Canada and Mexico and the rest of north/South America

If it did, I would go to my grave forever saying he was the greatest President in my lifetime without question.
If he could get a balance budget amendment passed in addition to wiping out 17 trillion in debt, I would argue for him as the greatest of all time.

Can't wait until the university of Venezuela fields a div.1 football team!
Got any thoughts on what their mascot will be?
