No that is a lie. Guyana found some oil and Venezuela wants it.

So what Petro is saying is that he's offended that he can't profit off of oil and also drugs.

This is what the people strawmanning a regime change don't understand. The democrats and rinos have made America weak. They sold us out so much that little pissant countries like Venezuela think they can profit at our citizens' expense. These countries should fear the US so much that they stop the drug runners themselves. The pussy approach preferred by the libertarians will never be able to achieve the same level of success as actually wielding our power.

The entire Paul/Massie approach to foreign relations is refusing to use our power to our advantage. They constantly want the US to sink down to level of these small countries and operate as if we are equals. Their actions limit the prosperity of America, and that's why I can't support them no matter how principled they are. They simply don't bring the best results, and we shouldn't pretend they do just because they say what we like.

Their foreign policy tactics align with the globalists' goals of eliminating America's special status and making us just another node in a global network.

In 1977, Petro joined the guerrilla group 19th of April Movement (M-19). He was arrested in 1985 by the army for his affiliation with the M-19.


quote:

In 1979, Chester "Chet" Bitterman traveled with his wife to Colombia to begin mission work with Wycliffe with the Summer Institute of Linguistics (SIL), an organization dedicated to documenting lesser known-languages in order to create translations of the Christian Bible. On January 19, 1981, Bitterman was taken hostage by M-19.

M-19 accused SIL of working with the CIA to destroy indigenous cultures, violate Colombian sovereignty and loot the country's resources and demanded SIL withdraw all 209 of its people from Colombia, otherwise they would kill Bitterman. After SIL's refusal to yield to the demands, Bitterman was found murdered.

It’s not the oil per se. it’s selling the oil to China and avoiding the U.S. dollar in the sale of oil. We would not be bombing Maduro’s drug boats if he used SWIFT to make the trade instead of CIPS.
