Thought For The Day - 4 January 2026

Now that the cat is out of the bag: oil was the sole reason for invading Venezuela, how long until Führer Trump takes over Alberta, home of all that oil sands? May as well leave the other worthless provinces to those fags in Ottawa.

With proven reserves of 166 billion barrels, Alberta's oil sands, in the Fort McMurray region, possess the third-largest oil reserves in the world, behind Venezuela and Saudi Arabia.

Come to think of it, isn't Alberta trying to secede? Yes, yes it is. And this isn't a new contention!! Extractive economies hate, just HATE, any effort at conservation or progress. Hell, with all the Cowboy Esprit these days, makes one wonder when the horse and buggy will be mandated in Blue Cities? Give them all that horseshit to clean up.

Stupid is as stupid does:

A 1994 U.S. military mission in Haiti that deposed a military junta and stabilized the country required some 25,000 personnel. Venezuela is about 33 times larger than Haiti, or roughly twice the size of California.

And, of course, Haiti has turned out to be such a perfect solution.
