Date: January 3rd, 2026 7:16 PM Author: stimulating location boltzmann It’s obviously retarded and proves beyond a reasonable doubt that Little Marco’s neocon artistry now has total/global control over major policy questions in Trump 2.0 (as opposed to merely direct intervention in support of the interests of far right Israelis re settlements and territorial expansion, since that was always priced in to Trump 2.0). Presumably it was sold to Trump as 80s nostalgia ie “it will be just like when we took out Noriega!” (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=5817038&forum_id=2Reputation#49560414) |

Date: January 4th, 2026 3:09 PM Author: soggy dashing black woman puppy "Some oil we don't need." Not really true IMO. The oil in Venezuela is very different from the oil resources we have domestically and the oil that is found in the middle east. Much heavier and more "sour." Better for the production of diesel fuel and jet fuel, both of which have basically been at a plateau level for a decade or so. And both of which are essential for industrial production and the movement of goods. Previously this useful oil was primarily going to China and their allies. It could now come to us and our allies. Obviously this is an optimistic viewpoint.
Not saying that this is going to be some huge win for the US, but rather it should help keep the wheels turning on the western financial and economic engine for a bit more time than it would have otherwise.
This reminds me of all the questions people had around keeping interest rates low from 2010 - 2021. People argued that it wasn't doing anything for employment which is the wrong lens to look at this sort of stuff through. The point of the Fed and the point of this sort of kinetic action IMO is to maintain the functioning of the world economy as we've known it to the benefit of the US and its allies.
The problem is that the economy and financial system is stretched and the asset bubbles are very real. So keeping them going requires more-and-more extreme and kinetic actions.
Like many on XO, I'd prefer we just let the bubbles deflate and the economy re-sort more naturally. But if this is the route the elites want to take, Trump feels like the man for the job. |

Date: January 5th, 2026 1:24 PM Author: Fishy Love Of Her Life Crotch you forgot to mention that our TX/LA refineries are geared exactly towards this type of heavy oil
besides what our companies can make helping Venezuela extract the oil, we can make a ton of product at those refineries for export |
|
Date: January 5th, 2026 1:33 PM Author: soggy dashing black woman puppy Good point. This is also something most people do not understand. Not all oil is created equal and not all refineries are created equal.
I am a bit rusty on this, but I believe that most of the oil we get through fracking is very light in nature. That's good and all, but we aren't actually well equipped to refine it into useful products. So we end up exporting a ton of oil to have it refined elsewhere and then imported back into the country.
It would be hugely, HUGELY beneficial to build some additional refinery capacity. And maybe that's something that can happen under Trump. But I'm not holding my breath. |

Date: January 5th, 2026 1:37 PM Author: Fishy Love Of Her Life Crotch yeah Canadian imported oil is also super heavy
not sure about now, but yes I do remember we had to import a ton of gasoline and other products
refineries have been improved and expanded but I think we still haven’t built a totally new one for decades. if Trump can’t get this done, nobody can |
|
Date: January 5th, 2026 1:50 PM Author: soggy dashing black woman puppy True on Canadian oil. Their "tar sand" is basically the same heavy sour stuff as in Venezuela. Trump 100% did Carney a favor by attacking him during the Canadian election season and Carney repaid that favor by becoming more bullish on oil once he got into office. To the point that it may have been coordinated IMO. |

Date: January 5th, 2026 1:26 PM Author: Fishy Love Of Her Life Crotch we’ve gained a ton of influence
my guess is that Trump wants to coerce the military there to crack down on the drugs, terrorists, Cuban/russian agents, etc. basically clean house while our majors move in to get the oil industry back up and running |
