CNN is reporting that Big Oil companies have told Trump they are not interested in jumping into Venezuela. After invading the country Trump is without a partner.https://x.com/DougWahl1/status/2008558633282662500

So his paymasters aren't interested? Apparently it's got plenty of crude oil but very difficult to drill?

And who guarantees the worker's safety?

Cluster f**k

Costing that much to drill it's not profitable enough apparently. Plus they probably dont trust Trump to not totally flip on the whole thing in a month anyway

He'll find some way to coerce them. Anyway it seems the infrastructure for pumping oil in Venezuela is so poor it will take years and years to rectify, by which stage Donnie will hopefully be pushing up daisies.

So how come they have that much of it?

Trump may think he has scored a coup by gaining arms-length control over the world's largest known oil reserves, but the extra-heavy tar sands of the Orinoco Belt are barely worth anything at current global oil prices near $60 a barrel

A stateless ship given temporary registration on Christmas eve by Russia (wonder why) after being linked with several operations where it broke Iranian oil sanctions.
It was breaking the law.

"The bottom line is this - their plan is insane: take Venezuela's oil at gunpoint and use it run the country from DC. America is nation building again."

The consequences for a ship being used in sanctions busting have never been a military seizure in international waters. Especially since the thing was empty.
