This past weekend Trump lifted sanctions on potash exports from Belarus. Last week Trump announced a 10% tariff on potash imports from Canada. The US imports 70% of its potash from Saskatchewan. It will now be able to import potash heavily discounted from Belarus.
Today Trump has claimed ownership of Venezuelan heavy oil production. Why would he continue to import tariffed heavy oil from Alberta?
Trump has already systemically dismantled the Canadian steel and aluminum industry and the auto industry in Ontario and Quebec. He is now going after the industrial bases in Saskatchewan and as of today, Alberta.
I attribute it to covetous malice.
Elbows up!

It occurred to me that it would be hard to get the bulk of the Venezuelan people to rally around Maduro, but this ‘our oil’ and ‘our land’ talk might just do it.
The whole reason we call them illegal aliens is because they’re subject to our laws.

Agreed. I suppose he will say that our companies built the oil infrastructure and then were nationalized, but that's a far cry from "our oil".

I never attribute to malice what might be explained by my own stupidity. I did misplace several million barrels of oil recently. Now I'm wondering.

Did you use Amazon for delivery of it?

Just checked again. My bad.
Sorry for any reputational damage my suspicions may have caused Venezuela.

You sure it was “systematic”?

Come think of it, probably not as it would require focus and strategic thinking.

So many people voted for him for the no-war thing.
Cannot find the post now, I thought I saw @mik wrote recently (today?) that he would still vote for Trump over Harris if the election were to take place today.
