29. Venzuela? Trump has murmured the words of War.

Can we withstand another War for Oil?

This is from Reuters this morning.
Looks like a big clusterfk.
China & Russia have holdings & eyes on Venezuela's Oil as well.
Trump's recent sanctions have created a mass of oil tankers in the southern Gulf waters, all loaded up & no where to go until V sets up a point of the pre-payments Maduro demanded before oil can leave the country.

The pre-payments came about in retaliation to Trump's sanctions.
US buys a lot of oil from V, for our refinerys., where it gets mixed with naptha to lighten the weight of V's heavy crude.
We then sell it on the global market.

It appears Trump's sanctions on V has created a standoff with Maduro demanding pre-payment.

China & Russia aren't going to wait forever till Trump & Maduro makeup & open the oil spigot.

Just a suggestion as to the possible increase in military ops as noted.

War for Oil isn't a new thing for the US, & consider John Bolton sits close to Trump.

It would not suprise me if this is in the works if Maduro doesn't comply.

I hope not. For the citizens of Venzuela & the unrest a war of this nature would bring to North & South America.

Is this why Trump is calling our troops back from the ME?
And is this the real reason why he demands a wall to seal our southern border?
Because this war for oil has been in the planning for longer than we know of?

Maybe I'm overreacting to another drumbeat of War for Oil.
I hope I'm way off base in my concerns.
