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.
Their GDP is already going down because of the lower price in oil and the lack of buying pressure from the country.
Because it's really just China and India that buys Russian oil and Iran a little bit.
But if Iran falls, if we have Venezuela's oil, then really we have the biggest oil-producing countries in the world at our mercy.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Yeah, no, I just think it still goes down to who's going to break first and kind of comply with us more first between Russia and China because we need one of them to be more friendly with us than they are.
We need one of them to turn against the other, and ideally it would be probably better and easier to get Russia to turn against China with us.
Who said that?
Michael Burry.
He said, watch, we just have Preston for a playbook for what China can do to Taiwan.
Yeah, it's the one that we were going to do.
Yeah.
I mean, when it comes to what's more strategically important between Venezuela for us or Taiwan for China, I mean, it's probably Taiwan that's more strategically important.
Like it'd be a bigger blow to the U.S.
if China successfully took Taiwan than the fact that we took Venezuela.
Right.
