The oil in Venezuela is basically impossible to extract. It’s too heavy for normal extraction methods and requires pumping lighter oil into the ground and mixing it up to extract. So extremely unlikely big companies would want to invest in an expensive and politically unstable region anyway

Here’s how it’s gonna work. Iran, Russia, Cuba, and China stop stealing their oil. They sell their oil to American companies. Their economy booms because of this newfound revenue. We gain a huge new supply of oil which causes US gas prices to drop. Venezuelans can now afford to eat.

Bro! We buy the oil and they get money and then they can buy wood to start their farms and then they get food! Duuuuh! Definitely nothing could go wrong with making my economy entirely based around oil!

It is not debatable that the hundreds of billions of barrels of oil Venezuela has are valuable

Of course you can’t use their fucking oil in our cars, but we have the complex refineries it requires. It’s just more expensive and time consuming. But oil is oil even if it’s low quality🤦🏼‍♂️like where are you even getting your information?

nobody thinks this way this wasn't dumb. it's purely political. One what did russia and china do to retaliate nothing 2 we do have oil we may make less from it but there will be profits 3 there are far more people that were saved by getting rid of the dictator then hurt in the bombings

I’m looking at the bigger picture. If I ran an old company it wouldn’t be worth my time to spend billions of dollars investing in getting set up in Venezuela for a worse product when I’m already getting more then enough out of the gulf and other way easier locations

Bro, you think like a middle schooler playing Civ5 🤣 We legitimately did this EXACT same thing in Iraq and it failed. Their long term instability is fucked, a good portion of the population hates us, and now they’re aligning themselves with China and Russia LOL. They’re like an Iran proxy now 😭 Americans died for nothing and dipshits like you sent them there to do it.

Like I said debatable. I’m sure SOMEBODY will I’m just not convinced it will be enough to even matter. And definitely not worth the massive amounts of money and time we’re putting into “stabilizing” the region
