I want to break this down for your viewers.

Over one million barrels of oil per day are coming out of Venezuela.

You know where a majority of those barrels of oil are going to?

China.

916,000 of the 1 million barrels per day are currently going to China.

So how exactly is Venezuela being punished by sanctions right now?

They're not.

China is actually purchasing the oil that the United States is not purchasing from Venezuela.

And the CCP continues to expand their influence and their presence in the Western Hemisphere, which is a national security threat.

And if we

If we really do go into Venezuela, if we invade Venezuela and we have a conflict or a full-blown war in Venezuela, that is going to turn into a war with China because the Chinese have thousands of military-aged men who are prepared to be deployed who are currently in Venezuela.

There hasn't really been a lot of reporting on this, Steve, but these Chinese men are being stationed there in the refineries

working in the refineries currently in Venezuela, and the Chinese now actually have their own physical refineries in Venezuela.

And so with tensions rising with China, I think that we really need to take a step back and think, do we really want to hand over the world's largest oil reserves to China?

Do we really want to hand over the world's largest gold supply to China?

Do we really want to hand over some of the largest rare earth mineral supplies to China?

I mean, this is a very resource-rich environment that we could be benefiting from as Americans.

We talked about drill, baby, drill, no more wars.

And yet all of these decisions coming out of the Department of War and Marco Rubio's Department of State is completely contrary to what President Trump campaigned on.

No new wars.
