"Deliberately impoverishing a nation in order to provoke a civil war is one of the most evil things you can possibly think of. But that's what the US has been doing to Iran. Making people suffer so much that the death and destruction of civil war is preferable to the status quo." Caitlin Johnstone

Donald Trump speaking about Venezuelan oil in 2023. "Their oil is garbage, the worst you can get, it’s like tar". In 2026: "Venezuelan oil.. a very good oil, great oil. It’s fantastic for certain things like asphalt roads"
