US TAXPAYERS Are Paying To Fix Venezuelan Oil Infrastructure For Big Oil! w/ Scott Ritter

It turns out that despite all of Donald Trump’s talk about what a boon taking over Venezuela’s oil will be for the American people, the reality is that U.S. taxpayers will be forced to subsidize the rebuilding of Venezuela’s oil infrastructure, while major oil companies reap the profits. In this segment Jimmy and guest Scott Ritter demonstrate that the administration plans to reimburse oil companies for costs that could reach hundreds of billions of dollars, framing the intervention as corporate welfare tied to regime change. The discussion links Venezuela’s vast oil reserves to broader dollar-hegemony and geopolitics, suggesting control of energy is meant to support future wars and financial dominance. The two warn that the timeline and cost projections are unrealistic, and that long-term instability makes the entire plan risky and deceptive.
