And you have to be careful with managing it, too, because I think when the Soviet Union collapsed, we kind of mishandled it.
We let the CIA, let the oligarchs take over.
And then
The resentment from the country to that led to Putin being in control.
So I think if this is done correctly, it could be a beautiful thing.
It could kind of get that communist virus out of South America because the whole communist spread across South America started with Cuba.
Then it went over to Venezuela.
Now it's gone over to Colombia.
So they could start like extracting that kind of spirit from South America.
That's a big thing, too.
Okay.
Brandon, your thoughts on this?
Yeah, so think about what could be done here.
So Russia, when you talk about going after the core, the nucleus of somebody's power, like 30% to 40% of Russia's GDP comes from selling oil.
So it's already hurting them.
That oil is down from $70 or $8 a barrel to like $56 now, which I almost think the market was anticipating this takeover of Venezuela with what oil prices have been doing.
So what could be done now where India buys like 30 percent of they represent like 30 percent of Russia's oil buyer.
So now could we start selling Venezuela's oil to India to offset that if we want them to stop buying Russia's oil?
Because if if we chop away at Russia's oil demand.
then that decimates them.
