2007 Expropriations. In 2007, the Venezuelan government expropriated the assets of foreign oil companies that declined to restructure their holdings to grant PDVSA majority control. Notably, ExxonMobil and ConocoPhillips resisted these terms, leading to the seizure of their assets.

I just wanna go on the record and officially say I think this is a terrible idea. Pretty much all of it the way it is currently being done.

A lot of people like Talladega Nights, and I really didn’t think it was very good.

Different strokes for different folks? I’m sure you will find your thing.

Is it? Is it really?

I recently saw the new naked gun film, so I’m a little gun shy.

No pun intended, honestly

The maximum torque of a bolt or nut is based on the size, material and thread of the nut and bolt.

Going from there the torque value assessed by design engineers will be based on calculations.

It gets really complicated when you get into things like stretch bolts that are single use.

This was always going to happen from the day they were sent. I’m surprised it has taken so long to be honest. Do you think this will be used as the beginning of justification for no midterm elections?

But if there’s no election.

I think we all knew it was a matter of time when national guardsmen were sent where they shouldn’t have been.

Some may argue that the person that sent them there knew full well this would happen and is part of the plan to ensure that there are no midterm elections.

All democracies should be invest in getting Russian interference into their government, society, and politics, largely through social media. NATO and Commonwealth countries especially.

No it is not odd at all.

It is not odd because the people who taught us to fear witches were the people who burned the "witches" (innocent people accused of witchcraft).

Not so different than now.

The U. S. (Almost solely) constantly talks about war with China.

The U. S. constantly talks about war.

For the U. S. war is like CrossFit. They just cant stop talking about it and think everyone should try it.

Too bad they couldn't organize some sort of deal where they could join the E.U. #activemeasures
