WHO THE HELL ARE YOU?

AMERICA HAS BEEN TROUNCED TOGETHER WITH ISRAEL BY IRAN.

IRAN CAN BUILD ANY DAMN THING THEY WANT TO BUILD TODAY, AND THERE IS NOTHING THE MASS MURDERING WAR CRIMINALS YOU WORSHIP CAN DO ABOUT IT.

UNDERSTOOD?

I ACTUALLY BELIEVE THEY ALREADY HAVE A NUCLEAR BOMB BURIED DEEP IN THEIR UNDERGROUND CITIES.

TELL YOUR WAR CRIMINALS AND CHILD RAPISTS TO TRY THEM.
How many bridges or oil facilities were bombed in America? Whatever they teach you in those mosques must be backward.

Trump lies about everything!

How much is the total revenue from oil in the US itself?

If the war cost an average of $25bn, then he is claiming to have $625bn 🤣🤣🤣🤣

Let’s even imagine he stole everything Venezuela was pumping out, it can’t still be half of $625bn considering Chevron is the ONLY big player in Venezuela.

I now know why Trump loves the uneducated!
The war would realistically only cost between 10 to 15 billion dollars. A US aircraft carrier cost 4 billion dollars and it's her most expensive asset in this war and none of them has been sunk or damaged extensively in that war. Most damaged US assets are far cheaper, including it's bases, aircraft and weaponry.

This's typical of America, that's why I laugh at Nigeria ns thinking that America is helping them solve terrorism problems, America doesn't care about you and your sithole of a country, they're only there spying on your systems and noticing your weaknesses and would attack you guys in due course trust me..that your little oil is all they want...I can assure that some of them are sponsoring the so called terrorism imo.

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).
Sound strategy or broad daylight robberyhuh

None of it makes sense. American oil giants are not comfortable to go in with their money (yet)

You just don’t kidnap people’s president, even if part of the government wanted it to happen.

And that has got nothing to do with cushioning anything at home. Infact, the US is currently selling its strategic reserve to other countries just to make sure there’s still oil around the world, not to cushion anything for ordinary Americans.

He also said it on the tv recently that he doesn’t care about the issues with AMERICANS … he only care about the war in Iran.
Okay..... I'll research further on this your take though I did read somewhere that America has the refineries that are built to handle such crude oil.

Refineries got nothing to do with oil production. Refineries refine crude, crude production is another thing.
