“We Just Want the Oil”
Trump Confesses the Crime on Air Force One — and the Empire Stops Pretending
January 5, 2025
It wasn’t a press conference.
It was a confession.
At 35,000 feet aboard Air Force One, Donald Trump didn’t just abandon the democracy cover story — he set it on fire, pissed on the ashes, and told the world exactly what this was always about.
Oil.
Resources.
Control.
And if anyone gets in the way? Troops.
This wasn’t a slip of the tongue. It was the quiet part screamed into a microphone while flanked by a giddy senator and a billionaire financier openly salivating over what the United States plans to take next.
This is how empires talk when they think no one can stop them.
The Scene: Bloodlust at 35,000 Feet
Trump looked unwell. Pale. Sluggish. Rambling. But make no mistake — his words were sharp, deliberate, and revealing.
Standing beside him were Lindsey Graham, vibrating with barely contained excitement, and Howard Lutnick, who treated the moment like an earnings call for imperial plunder.
No talk of Venezuelan voters.
No talk of human rights.
No talk of international law.
Just extraction.
“No, We Just Want the Oil”
When asked whether free and fair elections would be held in Venezuela, Trump didn’t dodge. He didn’t deflect.
He answered.
“No. We just want the oil.”
That sentence detonates every justification the Trump regime has used to sell this operation — drugs, democracy, liberation, security. Gone. Obliterated. Replaced by a naked admission of motive.
This wasn’t about Nicolás Maduro.
This wasn’t about the Venezuelan people.
This wasn’t about stability.
It was always about oil — and Trump admitted he told U.S. oil executives before the invasion that Venezuela was being taken.
That’s not rhetoric.
That’s intent.
The Lie: “They Stole Our Oil”
Trump leaned on a familiar colonial grievance: that Venezuela “stole” American oil and land — particularly from Exxon.
That’s a lie. A big one.
Venezuela did not steal anything. In 1998, Hugo Chávez won a democratic election and nationalized the country’s oil industry — a sovereign act recognized under international law. Exxon and other U.S. firms were expelled not because Venezuela was lawless, but because it refused to remain a corporate colony.
The United States didn’t lose property.
It lost privilege.
And Trump wants it back — by force.
Delcy Rodríguez and the Mafia Demand
Trump was asked what he would require from Venezuela’s interim leadership. He didn’t mention cooperation, reform, or elections.
He said he needed “total access” to oil — and “other things.”
The message was unmistakable.
Comply, and you get protection.
Resist, and you get troops.
This is not diplomacy. This is racketeering with aircraft carriers.
“Yeah, We Kidnapped Him”
Then came the moment that should freeze every allied capital.
When asked whether he had “kidnapped” Venezuelan President Nicolás Maduro, Trump smiled.
“Yeah. I like that term.”
No extradition process.
No warrant.
No international court.
Just abduction — openly embraced by the President of the United States.
When leaders stop denying crimes, it’s not because they’re innocent.
It’s because they’re daring the world to stop them.
Greenland Is Next
Trump didn’t stop with Venezuela.
He announced — casually — that Greenland would be next. Within two months. That Europe would “give it” to the United States because China and Russia have ships nearby and Greenland “needs us.”
Greenland is sovereign territory under Denmark.
Denmark’s response was immediate and unequivocal: no. Never. Not happening.
Trump responded by mocking Denmark’s increased Arctic security, sneering that they’d sent “one more dog sled.”
This is how empire speaks to allies: with contempt.
Every major EU country condemned the remarks. Canada joined them.
The mask didn’t slip.
It shattered.
“They’re Sick”: Mexico, Colombia, Cuba
Trump then widened the threat map.
Mexico.
Colombia.
Cuba.
All labeled “sick.” All accused — falsely — of attacking the United States through drug trafficking.
The President of Colombia didn’t mince words in response:
“Bring it on, Pedo.”
That’s what happens when imperial threats stop being subtle.
Lindsey Graham: Giddy for War
If Trump was the boss, Lindsey Graham was the hype man.
“We’re coming for CUBA next!!!” he said — grinning, thrilled, calling the kidnapping of Maduro “a big day.”
Graham insisted it wasn’t interventionism.
“It’s just business.”
That’s not a metaphor. It’s an admission slathered in
Howard Lutnick and the Shopping List
Then Howard Lutnick did what billionaires do best: he itemized.
Oil.
Steel.
Natural resources.
When asked what other industries the U.S. planned to take from Venezuela, he answered eagerly — without hesitation, without shame.
This wasn’t national security.
It was a hostile takeover.
Putin’s Shadow Deal
None of this exists in a vacuum.
In 2019, Vladimir Putin reportedly floated a bargain: Trump gets Venezuela; Russia gets Ukraine.
A hemispheric carve-up. Strongmen dividing the world while democracies argue about decorum.
What we are witnessing now looks less like chaos — and more like execution.
What This Is — and Why It Matters
This was not about drugs.
This was not about democracy.
This was not about Maduro.
This was imperialism without apology.
A president confessing motive.
A senator celebrating conquest.
A billionaire counting spoils.
When Trump said, “We just want the oil,” he wasn’t misspeaking.
He was telling the truth.
And history will remember this moment — not as a gaffe, but as the day the empire stopped pretending it stood for anything else.
My useless rethug maggot congressman's office gave me the line this morning that this was a necessary action to stop drug trafficking. I said "Then why did rump pardon the Honduran president?" The staffer hung up.
When Howard Licknut and Pansy Graham are salivating over your every word you know that corruption is the core principal of the regime.
