Just in case there was any doubt about what this war was about.
I’ll note that Chevron’s refineries in California have exactly the right equipment to process Venezuelan crude (it’s heavy) and have been under threat of shutting down due to depletion of oil fields in California.

So, when we gonna look at Congressional stock records and see who bought Chevron shortly before this went down?
We have less than 50 years of proven oil reserves left, and we’re doing everything we can to ensure that we run out at least that fast, while also ensuring that we pass critical climate tipping points.
Shareholders need value now, not in 50 years.
Damn, I sure hope nobody does any bombings or other acts of sabotage that would be considered terrorism against those refineries. That would be awful.
Chevron can just throw meat and money (probably subsidized direct by the Trump admin) at a refinery as long as they need. Otoh, corporate offices are located in CA and TX apparently.
Just in case there was any confusion on what one of the primary goals here was
trump literally said that in his news conference, there shouldnt be any confusion
Vultures…
Vultures go after animals that are already dead. This would be like the vultures pointing the eagles (heh) to sickly targets.
That’s what I mean, Chevron are the vultures in this case. They didn’t chop the head off, but they’re here for the blood…
