maybe the protesters are feminists for real but maybe some of the people targeting evo morales for fires in the amazon were real too. However, hitting Morales on that was CLEARLY an op to try to sour progressives against him so I'm suspicious of everything now.

It is ultra heavy crude or something like that, and requires specialized refineries. I believe the Koch brothers set up a refinery in the US along the Gulf of Mexico. They are new oil money, so them getting crushed by the machinations of old money is "nothing personal".

on top of being really sulphurous it being super heavy means it needs to be mixed with other, lighter oils to go to the market. hence why they were doing so much business with Louisiana and why they keep trying to import oil products

Belt and Road is also about the fact that they don't control the sea lanes. And the the problem for most Latin American leaders is that their armed forces are coupy and in the American's pockets. That can technically be solved by the Chineses parking a division there, but then they get to have all the fun of the CIA handing the Brave Freedom Fighters of Ecuador tactical nukes.
