Im not concerned with how Louisiana backs themselves into a corner. Have more options of production.
My tax dollars is all I care about and I thought we were done with this kind of white knighting.

Tax dollars being spent for long-term access to billions of barrels of oil, just a short trip across the GoA away from us is smart no matter how you slice it.
We aren't just giving them money as we have done in the past with other aid for countries. We are securing one of the largest deposits of oil in the world and also keeping Russia and China from accessing it. You are looking at it with a very narrow mind.

The important thing here is that Trump pal Paul Singer got to buy Citgo, which Maduro was blocking. Before donating millions to the anti-Massie campaign.

Something tells me they do not need my prayers, because they are about to get my money.

None of which the average American will benefit from in any great amount.
Our private oil companies producing Venezuelan oil for shipment to overseas countries is not much different from foreign oil companies producing Venzuelan oil for overseas countries.
To the average citizen that is.

Iran needs to immediately understand that it's bargaining time just ran out. President Trump has something far more important to devote his time and military to. The humanitarian need in our hemisphere is paramount. The builder and sympathetic nature will take over his thoughts. Iran just became an also ran and best get the best deal it can, while it can.
Iran doesn’t give two shits about Trump’s priorities.

10,000 to 100,000 deaths... I would have expected most compassionate comments on this thread then what I am seeing.

Nah, O&G is my gig.
Venezuelans should fill the jobs in the Venzuelan oil fields dontcha think?
Or are you arguing for visa workers?

Are you being purposely obtuse, or are you ignorant of the fact that multiple downstream jobs rely on imported oil?
Maybe you don't understand your own industry

After seeing footage of those collapsing highrise apartments, those casualty estimates sound horrifyingly plausible.

If Trump sends aid he is damned, if he doesn't he is damned. It is very geo political.
At least he won’t steal their children like what Hildabeast did in Haiti.

This is just terrible I feel for those people in Venezuela. They’ve been through pure hell for years and now this
The amount of big earthquakes is concerning. Feels like something big is coming

Not being obtuse at all. Just realize a few drops of what they produce will make it here for refining. Some may come here just for storage before being exported back out.
Overall, we cannot even refine all the oil we produce. I do not see how adding Venezualan oil helps that.
I will reiterate, Venezualan oil will not help the average American much. Maybe make room for a few more H1B guys and a handful of south of the border illegals. That is it.

No better time to prove that to the word.
No problem with shift back to Monroe Doctrine/Roosevelt Corollary thinking. Refocus on the economic/political stabilization of the western hemisphere.
