In reality, the combined financial power of these companies is more than adequate to create an army, overthrow the leftist leader and create their own country. Maybe Venezoilia?

Like his Cuban mentor Fidel Castro, Venezuela's Hugo Chavez wants to nationalize industry without compensation. Theft is the essence of Communism.

Or, just MacGyver up the whole shebang on the way out and let the oh-so-competent Venezuelan military sort it out. I’m guessing there’s a bit of flammable stuff around those facilities...just needs a source of ignition. And, while they are playing “Red Adair Does LatAm”, nationalize ALL of their holdings in the US and anywhere else we can. Might still come up short, but at least the companies that are getting robbed will get something back.

I feel bad for owners of Citgo gas stations,, but, for the life of me,, I have no idea why anyone would buy gas there. I have not bought gas at a Citgo since I first heard about this dictator a few years back. I refuse to. I will pay more and drive further to use any other gas. If i were a Citgo station owner, I would find another supplier or get out of the business. You are directly sending money to a madman that is using those dollars against our nation.
