Trump my guy. Abeg remember one shit hole this way. We get oil plenty for our region, but only government officials and cronies benefit from it. By any 30k per month data boy pours snake venom here, your region get anything? Apart from bandits and bokobandits?

Seems like securing Venezuela first was a strategic move because even before US attacked the Maduro led Venezuela government they already had tensions with Iran and a lot of people would've wondered why they went ahead to attack Venezuela first before Iran and here is the reason and it does look like a classic chess move.

I've been telling some monikers here that US has the luxury to play a long game with Iran or apply more brutality in their attack but they keep on arguing needlessly.....they can keep the blockade and just feel the impact a little while the impact of Iran losing revenues from oil sales daily will be immense on them.

The US were well aware that conflict with Iran can affect oil prices and availability hence they secured somewhere they could get a good amount of oil.... somewhere that would've naturally not sell to US if they had shortages because their allies were mostly in the east.....That move also reduced the global impact of oil shortages with Venezuela oil now in the market to cushion the effects of Shortage from the middle east.

Applying sound strategy is part of warfare..... we've even seen countless times where strategy won over numbers(huge armies) and sheer power(attack power).
Just look at your nonsense analysis of humanity and humanness. Another country recklessly attacking others criminally and you are touting that as strategy.

What really did Venezuela and Iran do that America has not done 10x. Is it sponsoring of terrorism in the world, or supporting Slavery and Apartheid for so many years or the sponsoring of rebels to take over legitimate governments and of course the big one, being the first and only nation to use nuclear/atomic bombs.

Funny. USA.

AMERICA HAS AN ANNUAL BUDGET OF $7 TRILLION.

BUT STILL BORROWS HEAVILY.

BUT NIGERIA WITH AN ANNUAL BUDGET OF $40 BILLION FOR ALMOST THE SAME POPULATION AS AMERICA, WHEN THE PRESIDENT BORROWS TO BUILD THE COUNTRY, YOU START BLABBING RUBBISH.

Bro why are you fooling yourself? If they were so strategic why are oil prices increasing? Why hasn't Venezuelan oil shored up the short fall? BTW how much Venezuelan oil has been sold since the US invaded? Do you know?

Meanwhile the US government claimed the returned the $500mil of the first sale to Venezuela and the subsequent sales will be released to Venezuela so where is this mystery Venezuela oil money coming from?

You only dispute his claim of 25 times. It still doesn't mean US is not using Venezuela oil proceeds to prosecute the war

It is a lie or not!

That’s the point of discussion!

At an estimate of $50bn losses, no way he could have made 1.25 trillion from Venezuela.

Chevron is the ONLY major player in Venezuela and their TOTAL NET INCOME in last 4 years is not even up to $100bn.

But Trump said he made OVER $1.25 trillion. How?

Call a lie a lie and stop decorating it.

Even the US with multiple players does not generate that in a year!

Re: Trump Says Venezuela’s Oil Paid For Cost Of Iran War ’25 Times Over’ by wallrichy: 1:35pm On May 23
You said it all....all the plans was mapped out from the beginning. The increase in tariffs, the MAGA sensitization, the invasion of Venezuela, the showing of power to Iran by bombing of the Nuclear power plants and finally, the withdrawn of the US from the Nuclear Power discussion and at the same day, the attacked on Iran, killing of Ayatollah Khomeini and most of his generals. Trump would definitely make the world to pay for that war against Iran indirectly. Presently, Visa fees has shoot up, also you need some payment as a guarantee or insurance after getting your Visa to the USA to show that you would come back. Everything consume by the world from the USA has increased and you think it's ordinary. No, everyone must be served Trump breakfast one way or the other........

thank you.

we should do it yardua style - that one simply saved money with no plan for development.

nigeria has 1001 issues that need to be addressed, but lets sit down and do nothing

ironically the same people cussing tinubu would also be cussing him for borrowing would also be cussing him for getting nothing done during his presidency

maybe development will magically materialize because we are a mono economy with a burgeoning population

How is the oil they secured helping American citizens? Today oil is over $4 per gallon from $2 per gallon, prices of goods and groceries have skyrocketed just yesterday Walmart announced that that the prices of their products will go up.
It normally takes a little above $60 for me to fill my tank now it is above $130 more than double.

How did they cushion effect? When hundred of citizens are increasingly suffer as a result of his foolish action, they wasted more than $25b, billion dollars and with no in sight of achieving any of their aim.

Why did you leave out the biggest project? N15 Trillion Coastal Road project which was not appropriated, which had no public tender and which did not go through the Bureau of Procurement rules, and which was awarded to an international criminal, Chagoury, who has the son of the president sitting on at least of one his boards?

Sure if you remove subsidies and float the naira, allocations go up but so do prices and so that is cancelled out.

It's like you had one hundred naira before and it could buy one car. And you now have four hundred but that's now the price of the same car.
