Oil Minister Rafael Ramirez announced Monday that state oil company Petroleos de Venezuela SA, or PDVSA, had taken control of Total's Jusepin field and Eni's Dacion field, which together produced 115,000 barrels a day, after the two companies refused to turn operations over to state-controlled joint ventures.

The goob of Venezuela has seized two oil fields from French and Italian companies , and threatens to do the same to other companies unless they agree to enter a joint venture with a goob fronted company in which the goob gets a slice that the mafia would envy . This was how the Saudis began their oil soaked empire , and we've all seen what that led to . Stay tuned .

Sounds like the French and Italians need to go there and take their fields back and keep us the heck out of it. No wait... that wouldn't work because the French won't fight. They will expect us to get it back for them then slam us for doing it.

That's the way a certain Indochinese war started , as I recall ...
