Ships' cargos stolen and crews kidnapped by US Navy.

US refineries were designed to process heavy crude, the kind produced by Venezuela. While we tout ourselves as having a lot of oil, most of it is light crude that we cannot refine and is exported to other countries. Most of our heavy crude oil import comes from Canada. This is why Trump wants Canada as our 51st state.

@sree251 And the kind they can get from Alberta Canada but no one in Alberta wants to join the US. We want to be an independent nation on good terms with both Canada and the US and Russia and China. Yes we sell a lot of stuff to Russia and China.

@hippyjoe1955 oil

@markinkansas Go deeper. It is not just the oil. It is the US dollar.

@hippyjoe1955
Only because Canada is taken for granted by fools in the US Government. On the other hand, there seems to be an iron vice locking Canada, the UK, Australia and New Zealand together. Imagine Australia acting as a military base hosting a fleet of US nuclear submarines in the Pacific meant for armed conflict with China. And not a peep out of the Aussies and Kiwis who will end up as cannon fodder in a nuclear exchange triggered by the crooks in Washinton DC.

@hippyjoe1955 explain the dollar is tanking here. and we are on the verge of going cashless now .

@hippyjoe1955
The US dollar is done for. It is enduring a slow death. Weaponizing it against Russia and using it to enforce sanctions on any country that steps out of line is forcing an alternative to using the US dollar in international commerce. On top of that, there is a need to service a $38 trillion US national debt that doesn't look like it can ever be repaid. Would you do business with someone on the verge of bankruptcy?

@sree251 Going bankrupt and apt to steal your property.

@sunsporter1649 Are those the UN police that Trudeau brought in to Canada to end the covid protests in Ottawa? You know the guy who ran over an old lady with a walker with his horse.
