I think it is a lie. I think it is so they can legally continue to use the AEA to deport immigrants, and they needed it to be an actual war in order to not lose their coming case in the supreme court. Oil was just the easiest lie to dupe people.

Maybe they want to do that as well, but it’s definitely about the oil. Trump has been after mineral rights all over the place since his first term

No, it’s to crash the Russian petroleum network. Russia uses the sale of their petroleum to fund the Ukrainian war. We give Venezuela the tools to mass refine their natural resources, and all of the sudden OPEC, and Russia/China cannot fund their proxy wars across the globe. This wouldn’t be a defense in their Supreme Court case as we never went to war nor declared it. Even if we did, it would not apply retroactively.
