Holy shit this is some investment gold. Thanks for posting this. I hadn't heard of this softening on the Venezuelan oil front; hat's the most white pill news I've heard in a long time. We drained all the cheap oil in the middle east, and now we'll hook up to the wells down south and transport will be cheaper. We can refine it in St Croix and bring it straight in the Gulf. Also, this will shift economic centering more toward SA, where my wife and I have always wanted to go (e.g., Mendoza, Argentina - btw you also can legally own an AR or even an armed tank, IIRC, in Argentina, just more legal hoops than here), but we never have because South & Central America, and Mexico are all in such a bad state, mostly due to mediocre relationships with us. Hopefully Brazil will be next (fuck the BRICS economic alliance).
