"Venezuelans ... they got jack sh!t."
Not that the facts matter to Paul, but the proceeds of the sale of Venezuelan oil go to Venezuela. But the US does ensure that the money is used for the benefit of the Venezuelan people rather than the Venezuelan leadership group. Also the Venezuelan oil is sold at full market price rather than the discounted price the Chinese used to buy it at. I can't help but think that that's the main reason Paul wants to misrepresent the process.... that the CCP that Paul so admires is forced to pay the Venezuelan people full price rather than pay the communist Venezuelan leaders a discounted price.

- I'm calling bs on that. Now... Leadership We set the bar pretty low in this country... Take news for example. It's the 'Know nothing news', 'Mushroom media' National Commissioner condemns video of Perth girl on train restrained by off-duty officer http://www.watoday.com.au/national/western-australia/national-commissioner-condemns-video-of-perth-girl-on-train-restrained-by-off-duty-officer-20260417-p5zowt.html So I click on it. No video. A story about condemning an off-duty officers actions in a video - but they won't show the video. What sort of pointless waste of time is this? I've gotta go and search for it myself. http://youtu.be/uZRJl2UnmZ4 Pay attention to the news. Pay attention to what they don't say or don't show you. Leadership. Look at Trump. Posts a picture of himself as Jesus, then when asked, lies like a 12 year old caught. 'Oh no, I thought I was a doctor', the instant pathetic retort. - thinking the adults are too stupid to see through this blatant lie explanation or call him out on it. And then he believes he's smarter than everyone else. Probably already has plenty of loonies around him telling him he was sent by God. Posted by Armchair Critic, Saturday, 18 April 2026 7:24:31 AM

The latest media comment describing the address to the nation(!) is “patronising drivel”. That two-word truth makes all the ideology-driven arguments here redundant.

Hi AC,
According to the Trumpster; "but the proceeds of the sale of Venezuelan oil go to Venezuela." You say BS!. I say Venezuelans got jack sh!t. The Trump administration has taken control of Venezuela's oil infrastructure, with the US Treasury "managing" oil proceeds. Trump has stated he would control the money generated from Venezuelan oil sales. This is the same bloke, who wanted a deal with the Iranians for a cut of toll money, placed bets on how many Iranians America would kill, and when! Trump Derangement Syndrome, and Trumpster you've caught it. Trump certainly is deranged! Posted by Paul1405, Saturday, 18 April 2026 11:14:08 AM

I hope the Iranians get a better deal from Trump than the Venezuelans got, they got jack sh!t.
