“Trinidad and Tobago is NOT a participant in any of these ongoing military operations. Trinidad and Tobago continues to maintain peaceful relations with the people of Venezuela,” Kamla Persad-Bissessar, the prime minister, wrote on social media.

The twin-island nation has in recent weeks allowed a US warship to dock on its shore, carried out drills with American troops and given US military aircraft permission to transit its airports.


What did I just read? Is this whining?

You are not part of the Americans invasion but you allowed America access through your border and allowed US military aircraft permission to transit your airport using it as a launch pad to hit Venezuela, una dey mad ni? you sef go collect when your time reach and na Venezuela go open your yansh and deny you later...first do no dey pain.

The cost of extracting oil in venezuela is higher than the current oil price,it simply not profitable.Otherwise venezuela should be awash with petrol dollar just like Saudi Arabia.
You don’t know more than the US president.

“I want Venezuela oil for free”

Coming from a country that clearly typed Venezuela Oil is on US land weeks ago. This was clearly typed by the US president not a senator nor a mayor but the President itself.
Now to turn the case up down, it's Maduro being the head cartel that cause the illegal invasion of a sovereign state.
Who is going to invade US and UK/ Europe for past slavery

Saddam was given trial for Weapon of Mass Destruction, yet till date they are yet to find such weapon

I just pity those who keep supporting the US on this platform, I guess you all have little knowledge of History
Pity yourself instead. We are ok with the US. Why don't your brothers run to the middle east or Russia, and China? But they preferred the US. What does that tell you?

I can't be a slave to China and Russia. I'll rather be to America. Look at China and Russia mining gold at our backyard illegally. What have we, Nigerians benefitted? Some of you people are good at reasoning upside down like bat.

“Venezuela for the American oil companies will be a field day because it will be more than a trillion dollars in economic activity”


”American companies can go in and fix the oil rigs and everything that has to do with the Venezuelan petroleum companies, with oil and the derivatives.”


“The Venezuelans have the largest reserves of oil in the world, more than Saudi Arabia. This is going to be a windfall for us when it comes to fossil fuels.”

”This is very good news for the American economy,” This is a number one goal for this administration from an economic standpoint.”

-Republican U.S. Representative Maria Salazar
for your information Venezuela oil is one of the least sort after due to its high sulphur content.

The aim of USA attacking Benefits is not for oil but to stop any Chinese or Russia friendliness in the region

I don't really understand is this particular case about terrorism? Venezuelans are not even Muslims they are predominantly Christians. Children just full this forum.
My Oga, it's like you don't know that guy. He used to be sensible years ago. But he's currently full of rubbish and the hate for Islam is driving him to near-madness.

Just imagine, if not stupidity, what concerns Islam with the Venezuela-America conflict?

Maduro or whatever he is called is not worth the blood of Russian soldiers. You think other leaders are like this APC government that doesn't care about their country nor their citizens?

Removing a democratically elected president just to have access to country's resources.

America under Trump is a joke 🤣!
Always going for soft target they know that they can crush easily.
Come to think of it, how can a president that rule over a country with one of the world's largest oil reserve be charged by the American government under Trump for drug trafficking!


American is a joke lead by a clown whose only aim is to ruin American relationship with the world

The level that the USA would go to get access to Venezuelan crude oil is just crazy. What a shame.

The abduction of a foreign leader by another state is a serious violation of international law.
Yet the USA is carrying out this violations and the world is keeping mute.
that man is an illegal president, only china, Russia,Iran and Cuba recognize his government after rigging himself into power. Can you now relate why the world is keeping mute now? Not even sovereignty can protect a mandate theif. It's a moral lesson to African politicians

So now the US is the accuser, the prosecutor and also the judge!

The world at large needs to brace up and challenge these impunities of Trump. The US is powerful today due to the collaborations and cooperation it gained from other powerful nations. Trump is transgressing and this could be catastrophic to the US. This is a total disrespect for the rule of law!

Death that is killing our peers is sending a big signal to us. It’s Venezuela today, did we know who’s next? The earlier this monster is called to order the better it is for the world at large.
You brace up now, you can do it.

Story:

As of January 2026, Venezuelan oil remains in high technical demand by U.S. Gulf Coast refiners, although political conflict and a U.S. naval blockade have severely restricted its availability.
1. High Technical Demand for Heavy Crude
U.S. Gulf Coast refineries are specifically designed to process "heavy" and "sour" crude oil, which Venezuela produces in abundance.

Compatibility: This heavy crude is less expensive than lighter domestic oil, making it more profitable for U.S. refiners.

Proximity: Venezuela's relative proximity to the U.S. Gulf Coast provides a logistical advantage over other heavy oil sources like the Middle East.
Strategic Value: With U.S. domestic oil production expected to level off, securing long-term access to Venezuela's reserves—the world's largest—is considered a top strategic priority for some U.S. officials.

There's something that's not adding up and I can't still fathom. You sit atop the largest oil reserve in the world, and still run a drug cartel, where a single shipment of crude oil can bring you billions of dollars in a single day!
Kai America, this lie no enter abeg! Just kuku say una want their oil, that's why the regime change was necessary.

I totally agree with you (double standards). Let the US try invade the brain box of Fentanyl. China is the world's leading manufacturer and exporter of Fentanyl precursor chemicals. Ironically, Fentanyl is the opioid responsible for the most overdose deaths in the United States. This says a lot about US's policies.
Even Mexico next door they won't attempt.
