Let's be clear: this isn't a win. This is proof Trump put our service members at risk to get Venezuelan oil for his billionaire buddies. Putting our soldiers’ lives on the line for private profit is a gross dereliction of his constitutional duty. www.nytimes.com/2026/08/28/b...

“ 🇺🇸 has taken in $13 billion from Venezuela. where is that money going?” TRUMP: *gives a rambling, unclear answer that should make you wonder if the proceeds from the oil they pillaged from Venezuela went to him, his family, and his friends*

As the U.S. eases some Russian oil restrictions to calm surging energy prices during the Iran war, the UK says it will not follow. British officials warn relaxing sanctions now would hand Vladimir Putin more revenue to fuel the war in Ukraine.

US Treasury Secretary Bessent: To ease the temporary gap of oil around the world, we may unsanction other Russian oil. "There are hundreds of millions of sanctioned barrels of sanctioned crude on the water. And in essence, by unsanctioning them, Treasury can create supply."

Trump told the oil companies about the Venezuela plan, but neglected to tell Congress. This invasion isn’t about protecting Americans, it’s military assistance for big oil and his billionaire friends.

Let me be clear what is happening, the USA is trying to install their puppet in Venezuela and they won't stop until they succeed When they have done it in Venezuela to steal their oil they will move on to Greenland, Canada, Europe, Nigeria... Don't think you are safe you aren't

The Epstein files ARE SO BAD that Trump has… Bombed Nigeria Bombed Venezuela Kidnapped a head of state Threatened Greenland Threatened Iran Backed Russia All in the last few weeks.

IMO this is about two things; oil and distraction. The US doesn’t produce much heavy crude, but its refinery base is tilted towards that. Venezuela has heavy crude in abundance. Trump needs to distract away from reports of his failing health, the Epstein files, & affordability/healthcare premiums

The US is illegally attacking another nation for no reason other than the mental and character defects of our President and his aides. Our military is carrying out those strikes apparently without hesitation. What we are doing is indefensibly, undeniably and deeply wrong.

As we all said, international law, such as it was, no longer exists. The United States, following Israel’s precedent, considers itself to have the explicit authority to blatantly violate sovereignty anywhere in the world and abduct even leaders of other states. There are no guardrails whatsoever.

I'm losing track of how many countries a man livid he wasn't given the Nobel Peace Prize has illegally bombed. Iran. Venezuela. Nigeria. Afghanistan. Iraq. Libya. Pakistan. Somalia. Syria. Yemen. Not to mention threatening to annex Greenland and Canada and invade Panama.
