That’s what the rhetoric of fighting evil and terrorism lead to.
You can justify anything against anyone by calling them evil monsters.
It’s not surprising to me because I know that those who think in black-and-white morality are either immature or self-serving hypocrites lying to immature ones.

According to what was said in another related post here, cant remember where, the type of oil that comes from Venezuela is Heavy and bitter, witch is hard to process, and the U.S. doesn’t have refineries capable of doing it atm, so what ever is extracted is sold in its raw form I’m assuming.
The investment needed on infrastructure there is both very high (build everything almost from scratch) and time consuming (years) for there to be ROI of any kind,not to mention that this is basically stealing resources from another country, so guerrilla attacks and warfare, sabotages, is a certainty not a possibility.
So remind me again, what exactly did the U.S. citizens win/gain from any of this, can’t quite get it, heck the american oil companies also want higher oil prices not lower, their’s profits would go up in smoke otherwise.

Hey, remember when all the Gen Xers and Xennials hated going to war for oil, and then voted pretty solidly to go to war for oil by electing this administration? Pepperidge Farm Remembers
Edit: maybe not exactly war, but using the military to secure oil is more my point here

There’s one American oil company, Chevron, that’s been able to maintain a presence in Venezuela. So clearly they’ve been selling Venezuelan oil for a long time and this article is misrepresenting that fact.
I hate Trump, but I also can’t stand misleading articles.
