The recent Trump move against Venezuela, even at this early stage, is already a model for disastrous geopolitical planning. Did we really need to disrupt a neighboring country by plucking away its leader, in order to seize oilfields full of substandard oil and in a complete state of infrastructure decay - at a moment when there's a glut of supply? While that baseline answer might seem clear, the situation is a complete mess, and Texas stands to be right in the middle of it. Joining us to try and unravel it all for this talk, we welcome Houston State Representative and Democratic nominee for the Texas Railroad Commission Jon Rosenthal, and Progress Texas-endorsed former Railroad Commission candidate and petroleum science expert Bill Burch.
