Blue pilled republicans like yourself are so lame and pathetic.

This is what i could find on Chat gpt, but if you know more lets see the receipts.

---

from the 1910s through the 1950s, Venezuela granted concessions mainly to U.S. and British companies

Low royalties at first: Early deals paid Venezuela very little per barrel.

Tax advantages: Companies had wide latitude to deduct costs and minimize taxable profits.

Venezuela pushes back: the 50/50 profit split

In 1948, Venezuela pioneered a major shift:

Introduced a 50/50 profit-sharing system

Companies still controlled operations, but government revenues rose sharply

At this point, the deal was much closer to fair by international standards.

By the 1970s:

Oil prices had surged

Producing countries had strong leverage

Many nations moved toward:

State ownership

Production-sharing agreements (PSAs)

Full nationalization

Compared to newer models:

Venezuela still lacked operational control

Foreign companies still repatriated large profits

Pricing power increasingly favored companies

So what once looked fair in 1948 looked outdated by 1975.

When Venezuela nationalized:

Companies were compensated

Assets were purchased rather than seized outright

No mass confiscations like in Iran (1951) or Russia (1917)

The U.S. government did not impose major sanctions

Relations remained functional for years

They are conflating territorial absorption with political control. Russia will take the russian majority provinces that Ukraine was attacking as a punishment to Ukraine being a Nato proxy. Then of course the war can not completely end until the rest of Ukraine becomes free of Cia & Nato influence. Also i would recommend to Russia that they get a major base in Odessa in order to further protect it from Cia and Nato military build up.

Probably part of the deal so that they can keep getting the raw materials to make the chips.

If this is true...then why are we just now hearing about it over a year later?

Because the Venezuelans attacked the US Liberty and blamed it on the Israelis and then paid off Epstein to create a distraction. It was Venezuela alllll along!

There were many times he had plenty of time to throw. But no one seemed open, or he wasnt throwing them open, or the OC route schemes suck.

Mindo

After Quito I traveled to Mindo to see the cloud forests where I took in some hikes to see many waterfalls then ran down to a zipline and whipped from hillside to hillside taking in Mindo, the mountain valleys, and all of the lush green rainforests. The town is famous for its bird watching and also does a lot of ATV and river tubing tours. The town itself is safe and has many great cafes.

Cotopaxi and Banos

The group moved from Quito to Cotopaxi where we rode bikes around the national park getting views of the surrounding landscape. Probably my favorite part of the trip, highly recommend. Then we proceeded to Banos which was a good bit of a drive. The adventure town of Banos is a safe tourist destination that is a must go to in Ecuador with excursions and views in every direction. After a walk along the river and valley we ended up at a spot where you could walk across a suspension bridge or fly across a cable like superman while you soaked in the river and mountain views. Next we went to the Devil's Cauldron Waterfall which was one of the coolest things we did on the trip. Breathtaking views of a very powerful waterfall, up close and personal. Afterwards, we then drove up a mountain to the top where there was a small park and tree house with swings that swung out over the hillside. We finished the day in the town with shopping, dinner, then a public spa/hot springs.
