Venezuela nationalized US petroleum companies in 1976
and again around 2007.
US Companies from the latter nationalization have pressed legal means for partial compensation.
STARTING A US WAR w/ VENEZUELA WILL REDUCE THEIR ABILITY TO GAIN COMPENSATION.
DJT is insanely selfish!

Pres. Trump,
Re: Keep Sheep Creek fast tracked.
Look, I'm lead signer, telling USFS:
✅️Permit rare earth mining in Ravalli County--make the US less China dependent.
✅️Make the mining more transparent.
✅️Engage Ravalli to support mining REE!
+ I told Ravalli to rectify promptly!

Interesting points. Sanctions are meant to pressure governments, but they can hurt citizens more. The shadow fleet complicates enforcement. It's worth asking whether current policies are helping or harming Venezuela's people in the long run.

What oil, land, or assets did Venezuela steal from the US.
The US Navy should not enforce a economic blockade on 80% of Venezuela 's income, exporting petroleum products!
Will the US Navy clamp down on shadow tanker fleet that escapes sanctions & distributes Venezuelan oil?

MAGA wants to remove studies of colonialism from universities because it might complicate the Trump line that Venezuela is a colonial power that subjugated the United States, stealing our Oil, Land, and Other Assets.
Trump: "Venezuela is completely surrounded by the largest Armada ever assembled ... It will only get bigger, and the shock to them will be like nothing they have ever seen before — Until such time as they return to the USA all of the Oil, Land, and other Assets that they previously stole from us."

Don’t worry about Montana’s Secretary of State Christi Jacobsen honoring her oath to protect your constitutional right to privacy, Montana.

Does anyone know if the "No 2024 Forensic Recount" posters are honest, real "USA voting citizens" paid or supported by Putin, or other obvious Musk lovers, and benefiters? FOTUS lies, cheats, steal, grifts and colludes with America's enemies. But we refuse to check the vote that got him there?
Does no Democrat think that FOTUS or any of his appointees would cheat? Oh! Only in elections they would never think of it? The Supreme Court gave Trump complete immunity before the election. That is how certain they were of Trump winning and that they could keep their lifestyles and money.

Sweet $$$ deal for BHC.
590 MW = about 3/4 of what NWE now sells.
