The week's question
In December 2024, in the thread "Re: BRK: Why Not XOM?", BreckHutHigh asked the members: "What about the long road trips with kids?" This week it is put to everyone again. The button below opens the small thread re-asking it - read what others have said so far, then give your own answer as an ordinary reply.

What do you mean? Trump and Rubio are insisting that Venezuela has to start doing what's in the best interest of the United States.

So you think oppressing their own people, operating as a giant drug cartel and smuggling oil/laundering money for the likes of Iran/China/Cuba/Russia is in Venezuela’s best interest?

That’s an interesting take.

So I don't think that Rodriguez is all that likely to let Washington "run the direction" of their national policy, or gain control of their oil resources - nor that many Venezuelans would regard her a "patriot" if she did....

Double lol. Those ghost fleet ships are all illegal under maritime law. She doesn’t get a vote on what direction we run or not.

Trump just said they talked to Rodriguez.

You’re also ignoring what the vast majority of Venezuelans think.

I’m generally not really following your point which seems to be to just play the pessimist and claim there’s nothing we can about anything.
