Take all the money you want to throw away on a weird shit illegal war, and use it to capture the power of the sun

In 2002-2003, there was - within the warped neocon imaginarium - an oil prize in Iraq. Easy crude, vast investment gains to be had, break OPEC, etc. Even within the conditions of that berserk mindset, none of this is relevant or applies to Venezuela today.

Such a weird war against what the energy the sun can give us today versus what the sun gave c.100 million years ago

Also, crude oil prices are already low! Adjusted for inflation, they are historically very low. And the market is already oversupplied, with more to come.

Anyone with a rudimentary understanding of what lies behind the headline Venezuela oil reserves number (including how shit-heavy the stuff is and how high an oil price is needed to realize them) knows how utterly stupid and insane this crap is.
