• New Idea for RST pool

    From Newsgroup: rec.sport.tennis

    In addition to choosing the finals winners for the majors, how about this?

    On what date will the US return control of the Venezuelan oil fields,
    the largest proven reserves, larger than Saudi Arabia, to the
    Venezuelans? Be sure to specify day of month, in which century, this
    will happen.

    What do you think, fellow-sufferers?

    Oil? Surely it's all about drugs & Maduro being a bad guy...

    Nothing to do with Venezuela's oil reserves & heavy crude US needs for
    its oil refineries but doesn't have. Also nothing to do with China.
    Definitely nothing to do with oil & China.

    Trump is a PR master, I don't think he would ever do "action" that could fa= il.=20

    So whatever or however done and preplanned, but I believe this action was l= ike 99.9% certain to succeeded?

    Either Maduro willingly gave up for future concession, not likely, or was b= etrayed by inner circle, likely.

    His jail time and future will give us answers.






    As for Venezuela future, it will become Jewish for sure, no?

    Remember Venezuela has been targeted by both global Jewry (lika Cuba and ma=
    ny other independent countries and Trump himself in past has been attacked =
    by them) but on top of that, Venecuela has also been hit by Israel and Zion= ist hawks (Trump's allies).


    Venezuela literally unrecognised Israel due to their genocide against Arabs=
    . So they got in focus of both global Jewry and Israel fascist regime.

    Funny thing, browsing through (mostly Finnish) Twitter and even with
    this thing there's now clear left-right divide...

    LEFT: Trump is breaking international laws by attacking Venezuela. Bad!
    RIGHT: Trump took a dictator out. Good!

    I don't agree with either camp really, it's not that black & white. Imo
    it's good that they took the dictator out and don't care about "breaking international law" to dot it, it can't be done other way... but at the
    same time I feel it's completely dishonest to claim that US is here
    helping anyone but themselves.

    US did this for heavy crude AND most of all petrodollar. Venezuela has
    been trying to join BRICS which would be detrimental to petrodollar.
    Some mention gold as well, and of course Chinese influence & trade with Venezuela.

    So, I guess stock markets would go down on Monday because of
    uncertainty? Or up because of strong US & short conflict with no effect outside Venezuela & oil? ...Ummm... probably up. Asia, uncertain.

    Oil would go...ummm... up short term?

    US dollar... up?

    Interest rates... not sure.

    Gold up because of global uncertainty.

    Exxon, Chevron UP!

    Anyway, I've decided trying not to do anything with my equities
    portfolio this year. And for Pelle who recently thought that one
    shouldn't invest in Finnish stocks... well, it's up like 20% since then
    and the Helsinki 25 index which is my largest position was up 38% in
    2025! Goddamn!

    You know who is a dictator?

    Zelenski is a dictator, their election has been canceled, supposedly due to=
    war, last time held in 2019. It's 2026 now.

    Good and bad don't enter into human transactions at this scale. It's

    Occasionally, that's a blessing.

    It's not local, it's global. Same divide all over the world.

    But the usual suspects are the ones latching onto it and importing the
    false dichotomy. You were reading it in a Finnish context, no?

    For all I care, it's quite possible the silly framing of this originates
    from Trump circles. That's where these Danube of thought things usually
    caome from.

    The eagerness of the Finnskie Persu Joe to suck it all up is breathtaking.

    The argument from left is: you can't attack dictators, it's illegal.
    That's missing the point.

    You're out to sea. As always.

    There should be no difference between Ukraine, Taiwan, Venezuela, Iran, Gr||nland, Finland, ... It doesn't matter whether its bad hombres in
    power or not. You should let hte people do their own bidding. Internal
    matters are our business, nobody else's.

    But given your Finlandisierunged background, I guess it's second nature
    to kind of give say on internal matters to palskies.

    RIGHT: Trump took a dictator out. Good!

    It's not really Trump's business to take people out. The most
    perplexing thing of them all is that it seems to be the business of

    How original...

    Somebody else has said it? Who cares. It's kind of the obvious thing to
    say given what I say above. Given you actually are not drunk all the
    time and understand what is going on.

    And for Pelle who recently thought that one shouldn't invest in
    Finnish stocks... well, it's up like 20% since then and the Helsinki

    is here helping anyone but themselves.

    Good and bad don't enter into human transactions at this scale. It's national benefit, however this might be defined.

    If anyone actually believes that any nation is interested in the form of government of another nation so that these foreign populations can have
    more individual freedom, they have just admitted to believing in Santa Claus.


    I was about to say that many European politicians seem to be interested
    in other nations & being "good"... but it's probably not that... they
    are virtue signalling for the brainwashed voters, making financial gain
    etc, making themselves profit one way or another. So they actually put
    their own profit over good of the country.

    Oil would go...ummm... up short term?

    You mean spot price? It'll go down at some point, it seems.


    You're probably right. Haven't looked at futures but if we think that Venezuela already had oil bans in place this may not cause much of
    disruption in short term.

    Back during Bush I and II, they denied that Iraq was about the oil, though of course it was. Now Trump just says it outright about Venezuela.

    Yep, this seems to be an unusual US-backed coup, in that we left no core military force there to seize/hold key installations.

    In a way they blew the rudder off of one of those cigarette boats
    they've been blasting out of the water with Hellfire missiles the last
    few months.

    But the analogy breaks down because Maduro wasn't much of a rudder, and Venezuela's not much of a boat.

    It really could go pretty bad down there. We'll have to see.

    P.S. Europe is pretty worried about the Greenland threat. And even that
    must be about minerals & oil... since Greenland has military base in
    Greenland & Denmark has been more than happy have it there and more. US
    has apparently decreased military presence there on its own will.

    P.P.S. So far my stocks have liked this a lot. Maybe it's just new year,
    this Venezuela thing can't be good for trade in general.

    It is. But we've all grown up in the post WW2 pax Americana. If you look

    Eurpoean-like, nations. Really, all major expansionary civilizations.

    Neither good nor bad, just *is*. Like gravity.

    core military force there to seize/hold key installations.


    Aren't US ships still surrounding the shores though?

    In a way they blew the rudder off of one of those cigarette boats
    they've been blasting out of the water with Hellfire missiles the
    last few months.

    But the analogy breaks down because Maduro wasn't much of a rudder,
    and Venezuela's not much of a boat.

    It really could go pretty bad down there. We'll have to see.


    Yeah, probably won't work...
    But the idea was to take oil away from China, or at least prevent
    Venezuela on receiving oil payments not in dollar. That they can do
    with ships.

    And taking oil to oneself is nothing but theft. Trump isn't least bit
    interested in democracy/people of Venezuela. It's pretty ugly, really.



    P.S. Europe is pretty worried about the Greenland threat. And even that
    must be about minerals & oil... since Greenland has military base in Greenland & Denmark has been more than happy have it there and more. US
    has apparently decreased military presence there on its own will.

    P.P.S. So far my stocks have liked this a lot. Maybe it's just new year, this Venezuela thing can't be good for trade in general.

    You know,my gut tells me that so long as the new leadership in Venezuela
    plays ball with Trump, this will not deeply affect markets outside of oil.

    Prior to the two nationalizations of oil production in Venezuela, they
    were shipping their ugly thick sulfurous crude to the US gulf coast refineries, which were really set up for that kind of refining.

    So in as sense it's back to the mid-90s, business as usual.

    Yes, but it's not the same as boots on the ground. There's no substitute
    for a direct armed military presence.

    Yes. they are doing it.

    In truth, TT, who is?

    It's pretty ugly, really.

    It is. But we've all grown up in the post WW2 pax Americana. If you look
    at history, that was the marked exception. This is more like the international situation has been, at least for European, or Eurpoean-
    like, nations. Really, all major expansionary civilizations.

    Neither good nor bad, just *is*. Like gravity.




    Seems that Trump's good-will creation operation in South America was in vain...

    Bad luck... who would have guessed that. But hey, maybe US could just

    You didn't answer my question.

    I never heard you protesting US efforts trying to wreck Russia, yet you're = all so holy now that they (you) wreck Venezuela?

    It simply doesn't compute.



    As for libertarianism, you know we're different, I don't have absolutely po= sitive opinion on that, perhaps some stuff is ok, but I would never general=
    ly adhere to such ideology.

    I think they're very rigid, Moslems, it's all about ideology for them, they=
    don't care about people or about end results, they just want to "follow th= eir perfect ideology".

    They promise heaven on earth when they manage to apply it to the fullest, a=
    true utopia, kinda like communism?
