@realDonaldTrump

Venezuela is completely surrounded by the largest Armada ever assembled in the History of South America. It will only get bigger, and the shock to them will be like nothing they have ever seen before — Until such time as they return to the United States of America all of the Oil, Land, and other Assets that they previously stole from us. The illegitimate Maduro Regime is using Oil from these stolen Oil Fields to finance themselves, Drug Terrorism, Human Trafficking, Murder, and Kidnapping. For the theft of our Assets, and many other reasons, including Terrorism, Drug Smuggling, and Human Trafficking, the Venezuelan Regime has been designated a FOREIGN TERRORIST ORGANIZATION. Therefore, today, I am ordering A TOTAL AND COMPLETE BLOCKADE OF ALL SANCTIONED OIL TANKERS going into, and out of, Venezuela. The Illegal Aliens and Criminals that the Maduro Regime has sent into the United States during the weak and inept Biden Administration, are being returned to Venezuela at a rapid pace. America will not allow Criminals, Terrorists, or other Countries, to rob, threaten, or harm our Nation and, likewise, will not allow a Hostile Regime to take our Oil, Land, or any other Assets, all of which must be returned to the United States, IMMEDIATELY. Thank you for your attention to this matter!

DONALD J. TRUMP
PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA

and if anyone wants to know what insane idiot is talking about, the supposedly 'stolen' oil fields are ones the gov't took away from private companies (on Venezuelan territory... obviously...)

the land (obviously) is not ours...

American oil companies are owed billions of dollars of compesation for Venezuela's expropriations against their local operations.

One example (regarding Conoco - there's another ruling in favor of ExxonMobil for similar damages)

Do you think that foreign countries should have a right to arbitrarily seize the assets of US individuals/companies that are within their territories?

That seems to be what you're suggesting with your second post there. And, to state the obvious, that's a fucking idiotic stance if it is what you believe.

do you think Trump wouldn't do the same?

also, yes, court lawsuits are fine

military piracy (& gov't overthrow?) to help Conoco & Exxon receive compensation not so much

(& fuckhead is demanding oil & land, not money)

This is what's called collection of judgment.

Venezuela can stop all of this at any time by doing the right thing and paying us back.

I wouldnt expect anything else from a filthy Canuck.

Its tumbleweed who vexes me here. You would think an American would have some problem with the idea that a rogue state like Venezuela can arbitrarily seize billions of dollars of American assets just because it wanys to.

This shouldnt even be a partisan thing...thats just not supposed to happen.

"court lawsuits are fine"

"military piracy"

How do you think judgments are enforced when one party stonewalls, you fucking idiot?

lmfao

where does Trump even mention a court judgment?

"Until such time as they return to the United States of America all of the Oil, Land, and other Assets that they previously stole from us"

that's not saying give our corporations money...

& our military being enforcers seems a little odd... & of course no Congress involvement, just one lone idiot blockading a country on a strange whim (supposedly) over seizures from over a decade ago

who knows his real motives, as w/ the bizarre Argentina bailout (presumably it involves stupidity, bribery, &/or misinformation)

(slightly related, lord fuckhead just filed a $10 billion lawsuit against the BBC... do you think he suffered $10 billion in damages?... will our fleet blockade England until paid?)

Don't need a court case to know that Maduro owes us for his parties crimes.

"will our fleet blockade England until paid?”

Now that's not a bad idea.

The indigenous population is being discriminated against as well. They could use some freedom.

London mayor Sadiq Khan reportedly attempted to block a vigil for victims of the Bondi Beach terror attack.

Actually an invasion of England would be a good idea.
