“If he nationalizes the banks, that could easily be the thing that brings him down.”
I’m sure you are more informed on what’s going on down there better than I, but it seems to me that as long as that black gold is bubbling out of the ground; this POS has nothing to worry about.
It’s money that makes the black gold bubble out of the ground, though. If he chases the oil companies out of the country, they aren’t going to do business with him except COD. That means he’s gotta get the oil out of the ground himself, and without someone who’s willing to put up the capital to do so, he’s SOL.
