This is such a massive deal for the US and our interests.

This could be Trumps gift to us that keeps on giving for decades to come.

We have a chance to slash OPEC influence on the market, hold more leverage over China and Russia, produce closer to home, potentially reduce positions in ME….

Not to mention the future of O&G pricing on the home front. This has potential to keep energy affordable for CONUS for decades and allow for massive expansions under US umbrella.

Not to be hyperbolic, but outside of shutting the border down, this may be Trumps biggest win.

The deal upends a false narrative coming from various foreign influencers who are trying to corrupt the midterm elections.

When we went in and removed the President of Venezuela the POTUS knew, even before we went in, what it would accomplish. Yesterday we hear of the "oil deal" just to warm us up.

The positive news that is about to be provided to the American citizenry is timed specifically to counter the false negativity of the MSM (Lying Media) messaging.

It will be a friggin' blowout come mid-terms. The dems and their DSA lovers are done!!

When the price of oil is uncoupled from opec and is stable, watch gas prices and the cost of goods decrease. That will be the real boom

At least until the next Dem president undos it all

Most importantly, the US oil companies will now feel confident in committing to harvesting Venezuelan oil. Big oil - like most markets - loves certainty

Big change from Biden….

Media doesn't want anything this administration does to succeed. If it's doing well, they'll say less about it. Not a shock.

The Dems are do-gooders and will let VZ have self-determination because it will feel too icky for them to be the proxy ruler behind a puppet state in South America. Of course, the people will likely be resentful of the current arrangement and vote socialists back into power.

Bluntly, the entire arrangement with VZ oil for US businesses hinges on the US never allowing the VZ people to have a genuine fair election. You got to decide how much that means to you as an American, I guess.

Venezuelans having free elections means nothing to me as an American.

They’ll turn it all back over to Venezuela because the Chinese will tell/pay them to do so and because they hate America.

Eh, it’d be more interesting if Dems were that knowingly malicious. Reality is that they’re just teacher’s pet idealists and don’t have the stomach for maintaining an empire.

Dems rely on low-iq people (hence their love of 3rd world imports) and malisicoulsly intended crooks (again desirous of 3rd world imports) for their muscle..

Democrat politicians have no improve-america agenda - their only agenda is ti sell out the American people to an over-lord communist style that has failed everywhere it has been tried for over a century.

Is it positive for the United States?
Is it positive for Trump?

If either of these are yes then you can bet your house that American media will do everything possible to ruin it

It’s probably because people aren’t sure what the ramifications of this will be, exactly.

My understanding is Venezuelan crude isn’t what we normally refine and it wasn’t profitable for our U.S. companies to go down there and build refineries.

It does give us influence over OPEC, China et al. While it may not be “profitable” to go build refineries, it’s cheaper than attacking another rando sandbox country to influence crude prices.

Great summary:

Cyrus S
@CyrusShares

As I predicted long before Maduro was removed from power, by returning to alliance with the US, Venezuela is going to become once again the most prosperous Latin American country and America's own Saudi Arabia, due to the fact that the entire venezuelan oil industry is built on American technology that was exclusively refined for Venezuela's unique geology and crude type along with logistical and refining technology that was invented especially for the Venezuelan oil!

That's why China and Russia that literally took over the Venezuelan oil industry had no idea how to reverse the rapidly declining venezuelan oil output and the industry kept crumbling as the China-Russia axis and their proxy regimes and cartels looted whatever drop of oil that Venezuela produced! Looters aren't builders! That's the difference between partnering with American builders vs partnering with looters!

Simply put, it's the biggest flex in modern human history.

It makes Iran, the mullahs, the Strait, and their London banker handlers irrelevant.

Dems, cucks, commies and proggies have zero argument against it. The think tanks were up all night trying to pull talking points out of their arse.

It solidifies Western Hemisphere energy dominance for decades to come.

It pokes a thumb in Carney's (and London's) eye in thinking he can hold Alberta's soil sand fields hostage.

The biggest dick wagging move I've ever witnessed.
