This title is misleading.

The assets used to extract and, in some instances, upgrade the crude for sale were expropriated by Chavez…just as the body of the story points out.

No where did Miller say or suggest that the oil in the ground belongs to the US.

The aggrieved parties of Chavez’s expropriation have gone to international courts and won…just as the story also states. Vz owes the plaintiffs a shitload of money.

The truth is that with all Vz owes, the plaintiffs do have a stake in the oil in the ground!

This is why buying land in Central America is a gamble. A new regime may take your land, house and all.

And there we have it; the most honest thing a Washington apparatchik has said about their geopolitical strategy in decades.

This is why Maduro will fight, and win, and the world will support him. Trump and his lackeys are just liars and thieves.

Since when has the US being lead by liars and thieves caused the world to stand up against our oil grabs?

He might win. War is really a battle of incompetencies. Whose incompetencies are more detrimental? Turns out verse the Taliban ours were. That doesn't mean the Taliban has a good military?

Maduro's military may have some incompetencies. Most communist countries have plenty in all areas. But we'll see whose incompetencies matters most considering both militaries have them.

If we win it doesn't mean our military was effective. It just means Maduro's was more ineffective.

I'm largely in agreement. I just don't really think Maduro's quite as much of a moron as Trump is. Of course, he might be. We're about to find out, I think.

Same as it ever was.

Most definitely.
