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.

Could be something being said right now to help stay in the middle. Told something different behind the scenes. Also, a way to get this VP lady back from Russia.
BTW - what is this xcancel site about? Been seeing that link a lot on here lately.

Apparently VE is being strict with people coming across the Colombian border. They stopped and held a reporter heading there. Erased all of his data, held him for a few hours, and told him not to try to come back for a while.
Makes sense I guess, but would make people crap their pants. Haha

Not sure if discussed on here already, but rumor has it they made a pitstop at Gitmo with Maduro. Other than just a standard refueling or change of planes, would there be any other reason?
Machado already confirmed to Rubio she is on board with all conditions Trump laid out, so that's a positive to help a calm transition.

Fricking NYC mayor already came out saying this was illegal with American and international law. I hope Trump curb stomps that goat fricker.
Heck Macron came out the opposite saying it's good for the future that the dictator is out.
