In 2019 the unelected occupant of the white house issued, without any approval from congress, sanctions against Venezuela that made it difficult for the nation to sell oil or for others to buy it.
The ocher tumor on America gave the usual canned talking points American politicians use when issuing devastating economic strikes against a south or central American country: Socialist blah blah communist blah blah corrupt blah blah human rights blah blah blah blah. These are the recorded, scripted talking points used against any country in the western hemisphere that does not let American corporations control it's resources, laws and economy.
(Interesting how Cucker Tarlson recently said that human rights in foreign countries isn't as important to America as cheap gas is.)
In 2021 as it was undulating its heaving bulk out of the white house the ocher tumor fired off a few more sanctions at Venezuela.
Looking back in hindsight now, I wonder if Russia's dictator, Vlad the Murderer, AKA polonium putin, might have asked his puppet in the oval office to try and take Venezuela's vast oil resources off the table because he knew he might be doing something that most of the world would dislike soon and wanted to limit alternatives to Russian oil. The timing seems interesting... Is anyone looking into this?
So now we have Russia invading Ukraine in a strategy that seems to come from the German government playbook circa 1932-1945, and Venezuela's oil is not an option for people in Europe facing a possibly very cold winter.
Also the Russians are occupying some nuclear power plants and making vague “Gosh it'd be awful if something happens to these plants that could cause a disaster!” comments.
Maybe it's time for “The Dark Brandon” to hit Polonium Putin with a not quite nuclear option, but still a devastating one nonetheless: End the ocher tumor's sanctions on Venezuela and allow them to supply Europe with oil and gas.
I don't know how corrupt Venezuela is, I admit it. I don't know what their human rights record is, I admit that. I do know they can't be as bad as Russia is, and they can't be near the threat to the world Russia is.
So let's tell pooty he's going to get his troops out of those nuke plants, allow western teams to occupy and oversee them and he's going to do it right goddam now or we start Venezuelan oil heading to Europe and his trainwreck of a state loses a huge chunk of what little economy it has.
