So like it's set up to fail within 100 years pretty much.

No, I think it's a huge opportunity just for the world in general.

Because, I mean, there was a time where I believe Venezuela was number four in terms of overall GDP.

And it makes me think of when the Soviet Union collapsed, that if you handle this thing correctly, then you could open up that whole country back to the world as a new market.

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.
