They also act like US Corporations wouldn’t get a really good deal if they wanted to purchase the rights to extract some of the mineral wealth of Greenland to extract.

I’ve been saying since I was in highschool that Shakespeare should probably be an elective in college, except for maybe Julius Caesar in AP Literature classes. It’s just so far out of date and the teachers aren’t allowed to explain what any of the slang means so it’s just… soulless. If they were able to explain how filthy it is, the kids would probably enjoy it more.

I don’t even know what oil profits there will be. It’ll cost tens of billions to refurbish the Venezuelan oil industry and while their oil reserves are massive, they’re also extremely low quality and cost more to refine. And to what end? The US is a net oil exporter. Flooding the market with cheap Venezuelan oil will just crash the price and fuck up the domestic oil market.
