Odds and Ends — 3 September 2026

…Donald Trump expressed frustration at the Iranian people on Tuesday night, asking why they are not rebelling against their government.
Said Trump: “I’m not trying to force Iran to the bargaining table, as ABC Fake News reported. I couldn’t care less if they sign a worthless, to them, agreement. I like our position now much better, with almost total control of the Hormuz Strait, and their economy totally collapsing. They are just playing out the inevitable. When are the Iranian people going to rise up and fight?”

President Trump’s plan for the U.S. to own majority control of Venezuelan oilfields harkens back to a century-old era of colonialism and backroom dealmaking with Venezuelan oilmen and politicians, energy and geopolitical analysts said.
While a revitalization of Venezuela’s dilapidated oil industry may be heading in the right direction, the process will require huge infusions of new investment. It will occur on a timeline that extends far beyond the administrations of Trump and interim Venezuela President Delcy Rodriguez—meaning any success will take years to come to fruition.
