Reports: Biden to Ease Venezuela Sanctions After Greenlighting Cash Bonanza for Communist Cuba
Breitbart ^ | 05/18/2022 | Francis martel

Multiple anonymous senior officials told reporters on Tuesday leftist President Joe Biden is planning to soon ease sanctions on dictator Nicolás Maduro of Venezuela, including sanctions that prevent negotiations between American oil companies and Petróleos de Venezuela (PDVSA).

PDVSA is Venezuela’s state-run oil corporation. Venezuela is home to the world’s second-largest known oil reserves (after the United States) and, prior to the rise of socialism in the late 1990s, was Latin America’s wealthiest nation. Under Maduro and his predecessor Hugo Chávez, the Venezuelan socialist regime replaced experienced engineers and corporate leaders at PDVSA with inexperienced cronies, resulting in a catastrophic collapse of production. Venezuela’s current oil production stands at 1940s levels.

America Last - the Biden Way.

He is making Carter look like a member of the John Birch Society by comparison.

Why is Venezuela, spreading communism in our backyard, less deserving of sanctions than Russia, which is not spreading communism in our backyard?

I understood that Venezuelan petroleum was "dirty oil", with high concentrates of sulpher.
Therefore it needs additional distillation and processing which very few refineries can accomodate.
Is my information wrong ?

Venezuela “nationalized” its oil business costing U.S. energy companies billions of dollars....I doubt very much they’re gonna wanna run back to that shitehole, especially with communists trying running things.
When the U.S. companies left, so did the technology and experience that it took to run their refineries as Venezuelan crude is heavy sour crude. Their oil industry rightly “crashed”.
Only a handful of refineries are designed and capable of refining that stuff: The ones in Venezuela, and two that I know of that exist in the USA...both very old.
Biden, and its flying monkeys, are a bunch of moronic fools.

Biden eases sanctions on foreign communist thiefs while imposing sanctions on our own domestic oil production.

“Venezuela’s current oil production stands at 1940s levels.”

And all of their oil is currently owned by Russia and China.
