If morals and human right are an issue, buying oil from Venezuela would a major upgrade, in that regard, opposed to buying oil from gulf states.

- mc32 5y agoThe issue against Venezuela was often founded in the confiscation of Plants and Equipment by the gov (Nationalization)... Same for Cuba (and the embargo against them) But... Well, now the West has decided unilaterally to confiscate the Yachts from Oligarchs (who are not even gov representatives, but are ascribed 'ties to Putin). It goes without saying that these guys aren't always the most moral bunch... but that still should not mean we forget about law for the sake of convenience. We even returned some hundreds of millions to the Iran regime --despite claiming it belonged to the previous legitimate government... So, it's all BS.
