Well said.
We should cut all ties with Venezuela, and stop doing business with them. I am well aware that he has oil, but we still shouldn't let him treat us like that, just because he has oil.
But when I thought about that, I wondered if the USA really did cut ties with Venezuela, and stopped buying his oil, if that would be considered an act of war committed by the US, and Venezuela would then have the right to invade our country, to force us to start buying his oil again.
Thoughts ? If the US stops buying oil, from any country for that matter, does that country have the right to invade us ? The fact is, alot of their economy is dependent upon us buying oil from them, so if we stopped buying their oil, hurting their economy, then that seems like an act of war.
I used the word right, not ability. Our military strength isn't what gives us these rights. Otherwise, we would go around invading countries just based on the fact that our military strength is stronger.
But I'm sincerely asking a question on whether or not they would have the right to invade us, if we stopped buying their oil.
