LOL, 1M barrels. So, just over an hour's worth of oil? Assuming we can even refine it?
What makes him think Venezuela would even vote for him if they were a state? Not to mention you're going to have a really hard time deporting all those illegal immigrants (brown people) once you make 32 million Venezuelans citizens.
Wait wait, I thought he wanted Greenland as the 51st state?
No, it was Canada.
I didn't give him permission to make Venezuela a state
1 million barrels of thick sludge. Definitely just as easy to refine as middle eastern light crude.
On a positive note, making Venezuela a 51st state would mean DC and Puerto Rico would finally get a better shot.
Simultaneously, it would tarnish the entire concept of statehood, introducing the specter of imperialism into it's definition.
Agree on increasing the odds that Puerto Rico and DC have for statehood, but don't think it tips the balance.
I'm not so sure that the entire concept of statehood would be tarnished though; Vermont, Texas, and Hawaii were all independent countries before they became states, and that's even before you start discussing whether North America was ruled by Native Americans before the Europeans and later Americans pushed them aside and declared their own sovereignty.
Cool, so my gas prices are lower right?
Not sure how a tanker full of hot air and bullshit will lower your gas prices unfortunately.
Nope. It just means now trump has oil to sell, and the higher the price (say... matching European pricing) the more money he steals.
Trump is a one trick pony - greed. Nothing he does is outside of that parameter.
Fun fact: the human body is made of 75% water. Except for Trump. He's made of 75% hot air.
You spelled shit wrong.
Gosh. I hope Canada and Greenland don't get mad. I know both of them look forward to being (86☼47) - #51.
I've heard they were both clamoring at the UN to be the number one draft pick for US position #51.
Canada should be terrified of the US right now. Almost all of Alberta's oil is bitumen...the same crap Venezuela is having stolen from them right now. Alberta is next.
I have very little doubt that the US is involved in pushing Alberta separatism propaganda for exactly this purpose.
They absolutely are. Follow the money. https://www.canadawill.ca/blog/the-money-behind-the-movement-whos-really-fueling-albertas-push-to-separate/
What’s that? 10 mins of gas for east coast?
Phhffffttt
Oh great, first we had to share a union with fascist states and now he wants to add a red-fascist state under duress? Fuck that, just sign their asses up for NATO and call it good.
