  1. 😂 why governments don’t want to admit that they all need each other. Oil rich countries need to sell their oil and high consumers countries need their oil for their economies. I meant. Can they just put politics aside and work together and everybody is happy. We the people always get slammed by these crazy leaders.

  2. Biden is there for tips on how to totally destroy an economy and install a dictatorship.

  3. Winter is coming US and European countries need oil

  4. From one shameful source of oil to another. We always seem to choose the lesser of two evils when there's often a better choice.

  5. Haha usa needs Venezuela oil since republican oil tycoons are charging us high prices in USA

  6. Paid climate deniers. Period should be a war crime that gets you cooked alive. Seriously it's fair

  11. I personally did 24 / 7 solitary with lights on 24/7 . No rec , no entertainment ( books tv puzzles) 4 walls and me 45 days in a us prison for doing the right thing. No crime in any country on earth . The US is the ethical problem and oil executives are the heart of the cancer.

  12. I understand…. lights and ac are expensive. How about extreme heat and no lights at all . Like the opposite of political prisoners in the US system.

  13. If that's the cia . I must be God

  14. Oil executives are a hoax !!!!

  15. I hope their all naked in level 5 . With the ac on blast and the lights that never shut off #consistency

  16. When they say " at least your honest " and you still can't think of anything nice to say back …. maybe " at least your consistent " ok happy now

  17. Welfare visit?????? Liars have some dignity your officials are in in Venezuela begging 🙏 for oil after the sanctions failed And the coup failed 😞

  18. Or commune with Satan see where 666 takes you .

  19. Drug them to death . They have a mental disease, can't be free . Dangerous to themselves. You have my blessing

  20. The politics of fucin yourself. Competency an American tradition since ….. what day is it ?

  21. There Will Be Endless Crisis

    😉
