And that was just parked outside, right?
Then you add in all the airstrikes, everything else that's going on.
You're probably looking at $50 billion that went into securing Maduro holistically over the entire span of that.
And what did we get out of it?
We got supposedly $500 million in oil that's being split half and half between the United States and Venezuela.
Does that really make sense for America first?
Is that really where you want your taxpayer dollars going?
Not at all.
What is that actually giving the American people?
Even if we were to secure all that oil, what would that do for you and me and your viewers?
Are you guys going to see any of it?
Are you going to see lower gas prices?
Probably not.
Because in Venezuela, what really is going on, and even the oil executive companies have come out and said, is they've told Trump, like, we are not investing in Venezuelan oil.
And the reason for that is because all of the American oil companies and conglomerates already have, let me back up, Venezuela has heavy crude oil.
And the reason why this is important is because Canada also has the next largest amount of heavy crude oil.
And so with the American oil conglomerates, they've already built out the trillion dollars in infrastructure for the refineries and everything they need to refine all that heavy crude in Canada.
that they don't want to spend a trillion dollars to build all that infrastructure out in a Latin American country that they don't know if it's going to be toppled.
The government's going to topple, and you're going to have a massive insurgency.
And so they're not even going to be invested in Venezuela.
