Reply #13: We'd buy Venezuelan oil from China...

...if they had any left over, and were nice enough to sell it to us.

Otherwise we'd sit around bitching about how the dollar is worth less than the Mexican Peso, and bitching about all those young Americans who simply sneak out of the United States before they get drafted to do their patriotic duty of defending our God Blessed homeland, and how we really ought to reduce the draft age to fourteen to stop them.

Heh, I very much enjoy these little flights of fancy.

What's really going to happen is that China is going to increase it's trade with Venezuela as the population there currently living in extreme poverty starts to get some spending money.
