I think they will. I agree with Bill, this is pretty identical to the Iraq situation. They had Oil Companies in there and pumping in no time.

Because, frankly, its a good bet that Trump's Oil Company buddies essentially orchestrated this and are using their good buddy and the US Military for their own purposes.

I do wonder what the longer term effects of this will be, I have a lot of 'Oil Refugees' from Venezuela as clients...I wonder if they might consider going back home? Not immediately as they'd probably want the dust to settle, but eventually?
