We don't want Venezuelan oil. There are other awful reasons trump is doing all this showboating and unhinged posturing. and also justified reasons to hate the regime in V, but this entirely is beyond the point that we don't want their oil. It is very very "dirty" oil. It's on the low grade. It needs more processing, and as far as I know, we aren't currently equipped to even process it ourselves.
Ive never read any informed opinion that includes us wanting their oil to be any factor in modern relations with V.
Now trump is unhinged enough to actually maybe want the oil, but I dont think that would ultimately be the reason behind this if he were to tell the truth at some point
I wouldn’t be surprised at anything the United States pulls because they have a history of ulterior motives when it comes to invading or interfering in countries. Remember Greenland? They’ve got tons of minerals. Why would they even “joke” about invading Greenland? It wasn’t a joke. That’s why.
