The last real manifestation of this was when George H.W.
Bush went into Panama.
But this is...
we went into Latin America on much less provocation than this.
Countries would just be poorly run fiscally.
And we'd go in and say, okay, we're taking over your finances because we don't want you in debt to Britain or Germany because that might tempt them to come in and seize your territory or take control of your government.
We don't want to see that happen.
So in some respects, Trump feels completely new because he's very old and represents traditions we'd gotten away from for better or worse.
He's had a fixation with this, right?
His critique of the Iraq war was in part, we didn't keep the oil, right?
Yeah.
Yeah.
So he likes the idea of gaining assets and benefiting from any transaction.
So I'm not a huge fan of this in that sense.
The oil in Venezuela is for the Venezuelans.
If we're going to help them develop it and have American companies there investing for the good of Venezuelans and our companies are going to benefit too, that's fine.
And maybe that's ultimately what would happen.
But the way he presents it, I think,
counterproductive.
The same thing with running Venezuela.
