Hmmm....it would seem that you lack imagination here.Just wait until Venezuela starts seizing stuff belonging to US companies.And wait until the State Department is forced to become involved.

Yes,Citgo may be worth billions...a fact that will light a fire under more lawyers than either of us could possibly fathom.

“Just wait until Venezuela starts seizing stuff belonging to US companies.”

They did that 15 years ago. I don’t think there’s much left there for them to seize. In any case that won’t get them currency. How long will the army stay loyal when they aren’t being paid?

Its seizure of US assets for over a decade is exactly why this is such a great move. Citgo isn’t off-limits any more. They’ll probably get pennies on the dollar. But when the principal is tens of billions of dollars, that’s still a nice chunk of change.

Where have you been? Ever heard of Goodyear Tire and Rubber? Yeah, the government seized that plant and all of its assets years ago.

Wonder if you can buy a new Goodyear tire in that shi+hole? I doubt it.

i guess you’ve been living under a rock ... Maduro has already seized anything worth seizing years ago ... that’s why Conoco and the rest have sued and are in the process of grabbing all of his extra-territorial assets ... there’s nothing else left worth seizing, whether owned by U.S. companies, other foreign companies or even the Venezuelan’s themselves ... there’s not even any pots to piss in left ... everything is gone, including millions of Venezuelans, who’ve already fled to neighboring countries ... oil workers are gone ... working oil equipment has been strip-mined and what’s left is barely working if working at all ... Maduro can no longer even keep the water running in the cities or the electricity running in the cities ...
