#1 he's promised about 170% of Venezuela's oil output to various and sundry ~~losers~~ socialist allies, few of whom can refine that sh*t he's pumping

#2 This should not be too much of a problem since the economies of true leftists (China is not such anymore) are such basket cases that they use little energy.

#5 Hugo, you neglected to include Pelosi and her collection of leftists on your 'energy assistance list'. Must have been an oversight.

#6 Under the proposal, Venezuela was ready to finance up to 50 percent of the total oil bill and would also create a matching fund to finance agricultural projects, food production and small-to-medium size industries, Chavez said.

How do we do it you ask?
Print more money!

#7 tu3031
That should read "Print more currency!", It's not real money.

Anyway the UK & US aren't exactly blameless on the money presses front either.

#8 I love it, let him try to prop up all those failing economies, it'l put him in debt for the next hundred years.

#9 it'l put him in debt for the next hundred years

since he won't be alive to repair that damage, I'd be happy with a 9mm martyrdom on the next available date

#10 If he wants to sell his oil for 1/2 the going rate, who cares. Who's going to pump it when the old rigs go sour? Who's going to crack it for him when his old refineries break down? He can't refine enough for himself, much less Cuba too.
