why Venezuela? heavy crude
(also why Canada needs to be on guard)
this video explains how America has a lot of light crude (he says shale and it sounds like Shell, but it's shale, from fracking)

The real reason the US is invading Venezuela goes back to a deal Henry Kissinger made with Saudi Arabia in 1974.
And I'm going to explain why this is actually about the SURVIVAL of the US dollar itself.

there's a certain day of the week every year, that allows you to calculate the day of the week for any date that year -- in your head!
for 3 years out of four, it's January 3
in the fourth, in leap year, it's January 4
so for 2026, this day, called Doomsday, is Saturday

Every American should be ashamed of who we are and what we have become as a nation today. We have a long history of military misadventures and even crimes but the attacks we have been conducting on Venezuela are among the most wanton, egregious and least defensible acts we’ve ever conducted.
