China tells Trump to stay away from Venezuela’s oil. China, which has invested billions in Venezuela’s oil industry, claimed that agreements it has with Venezuela would be ‘protected by law’. It said Trump’s actionwas a ‘clear violation of international law.”

Wait, wait, holdup… are they implying that Trump may not have thought this action through, thoroughly?
Trump’s a POS for doing this but man, this is some real pot calling the kettle black shit.
Here we go.
Good, china can pay ConocoPhillips and ExxonMobil back, right!?
Don’t think china will lose out on the oil investment, all the oil from Venezuela will eventually go somewhere else, china is a big market. Maybe trump just did china a favour by removing sanctions and improving security in the region.
Yes Venezuelan production was already mortgaged to repay China. However… the Chinese companies just sold most of it to US refineries.
there is a river of rot i can’t not see
They didn’t get the memo? International law is being written by whoever’s military carries the biggest stick.
The rule of international law arrived at its deathbed the day Russia invaded Ukraine, and it exhaled its final breath moments before US helicopters raided Venezuela.
Whatever rules and norms have been governing the international order since the end of the Cold War are out the fucking window.
The irony of China lecturing the U.S. about international law. Go tell that to Japan, the Philippines, Vietnam, and India.[](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Names_of_the_Philippines)
Hey China, guess what those contracts are nullified now. Cry more
