We shouldn't forget trump's pre-election meeting with the largest oil producers at mar-a-largo where he asked them for a very large contribution to his campaign in exchange for undisclosed " benefits". Well here they are. More American owned oil companies not only getting HUGE subsidies but now expanded access to new customers.

Why does it take the media so long to come out with something so obvious to me! I have been posting about this for months! Why isn’t this on the front page of every major media outlets in the USA?

Trump and his minions are keeping lids on as much social media as they can. The “Free Press” isn’t free anymore, because if you print anything that is anti-trump then trump puts pressure on the owners of that media, threatening to pull their broadcast/publishing licenses if they continue being anti-trump. And it works. Too many news sources are afraid to publish the truth.

I guess the”free” press isn’t free?

Because when the vested interests notice and then come for you, that's a touch uncomfortable.

Of course he stole Venezuela's oil. All of a sudden he's going to be the savior of SouthAmerica? . It was the plan all along. Not his plan He's way way too dumb and stupid to even think of it. Try Miller. I hope thr middle east

Figures this out by themselves, cuts him out giving him his well deserved middle finger. Somehow they can come up with a plan that leaves him drinking all his ill gotten oil and puking his guts up on his republican friends in Congress.

My thoughts exactly. Trump is not smart enough.

This makes sense especially if you prop it up against nearly all Senate Republicans voting to continue letting the felon have his way with the Iran war. It's a money(oil) grab for them for sure.

Trump isn’t smart enough to come up with that. Sounds like a Stephen Miller thing to me.

The oligarchs don't care what happens to anyone outside of their sphere of influence... all they want is more. More of everything and anything... leaving the rest of us less and less. Competition for the ever decreasing spoils remaining on the planet will grow more and more aggressive... resulting in greater and greater destruction of what remaining infrastructure there is left.... except for the oligarchs personal enclaves which will become like a middle ages walled city... surrounded by the shacks of the peasants from the surrounding area trying to eek out a living off of those who have more. Until there's not enough for them either... and they are gone... leaving only desolation behind. Congratulations you win... and the wreckage you've left behind is your reward. Wonder how much longer before another oligarch comes to take what you have... and then when the last one is standing and surveying their victory... they will truly know how it feels to be the winner..

the last person on the planet Earth. Congratulations... You win.

Anything that benefits him he’s in on. So, of course he is

Maybe the question should be asked in theorized where the world would be if there wasn’t oil. Did having oil in the ground create civilization? It didn’t.

There are energy resources besides windmills and solar panels. I think I’m correct in saying that if there was a solar panel that was 100 mi.² it would provide enough energy for the United States. Why not build 100 one mi.² panels?

Why not mine helium three from the moon and bring it back to earth and use it to safely power nuclear reactors?

The people who control oil and other fossil fuels are the enemy. They see what it’s doing to the Earth. They see that the Earth is becoming uninhabitable. These people are the enemies of humanity. Not even a pig will shit and eat where it sleeps but a billionaire will. They will live in some dwelling and shit on everything and when there’s too much shit, they will find another dwelling and they will shit in that one too because they are a whole different kind of swine.

Don't forget, he's doing everything he can to extend oil leases into our supposedly untouchable virgin lands. He wants to take over and spoil every environmentally beautiful and necessary piece of wilderness in the US. And he's got his oil maggots chomping at the bit. And they are maggots. They feed on the corruption that they foster, and they're feeding on the American people.

As soon as TRUMP went into Venezuela, and he captured the Venezuelan Oil Tanker, he said, "we're going to make alot of money from Venezuelan oil!!! I knew then this was going to be his plan. And he wants Canadian Oil as well. These people like Steven Miller (HITLER), the Oil Companies are taking calculated steps to dominate the Oil market. AND They will KILL TO KEEP IT!! UNLESS, STEPS ARE TAKEN SOON, THERE WILL BE NO GOING BACK. And the oil they are so desperate for, will become ........RADIOACTIVE ☢️!! Stick that in your pipe and SMOKE IT!!!!!

So as part of Trumps grand kleptocratic sweep, he’s selling our strategic oil reserves. This paves the way for future Putin moves as it lines the pockets of Trump and his Big Oil cronies.

And, as usual with no concern about the future, the orange moron is firmly against renewable energy and electric vehicles.

In addition, his family is heavily invested in the manufacturing of drones.

What about Germany and its gas deals with Russia pre 2008. Then Bush Junior pushes for Ukraine membership in 2008 and Obama officials are recorded talking about their guy in Ukraine in 2013. The US had committed.

Then under Trump, America reverses course while the Ukraine War brings an end to Russian energy purchases.

And the Trump offers to sell more expensive energy to Europe.

Let’s also not forget Europe pivoting to Qatar gas. Then there’s the blowback from Trump’s Iran War fiasco which takes out a chunk of Qatar capacity for years.

Looks mighty suspicious.
