And a dictator and corrupt administration took over the government. I don’t think the Venezuelans voted for that. You forgot to mention that aspect.
Let them vote socialist for a few more years and they’ll get authoritarian government again.
When you vote again and again to give up your rights, somebody will show up to take advantage of it.

And F’ing up Chinas oil supply, Europe, especially the UK have a big problem as well.
They don’t have any fuel infrastructure and they import about 60% of their food.

I thought it was about freedom and democracy for the Venezuelan people? We have hardline Chavistas ruling with a gun to their heads.
There was also the drugs angle.
Good to see everybody now admits it was about oil.

Trump was a big supporter of Machado, the Venezuelan opposition. Then he captured Maduro and suddenly he supported the VP of the current administration. Wonder what happened in between.
Apparently as they looked at how to deal with Venezuela a certain agency said Mr. President you might want to take a look at these files. Within it were all the relationship details with china, cuba, the cartels, the oil business,etc. Detailed schematics of Maduro's compound, guard placements, and a daily schedule routine of Maduro going back months. Who on earth could have been supplying this information, at great personal risk, other than someone at the very highest level of the Maduro govt........
And suddenly Trump pivots to Delcy Rodriguez taking over for her former boss.
Things havent changed eh

Venezuela has not always been socialist. It turned that way when a military dictator took over and rigged elections, course one might not believe this cause you know biden also got 81 million votes so America wanted socialism.

The refining industry all along the gulf coast came into being largely because of Venezuelan oil. It's why those refineries exist. They're built for that type of crude oil.

How many narco boats have we gotten to sink since Maduro got taken out?
The VZ oil is being sold at market prices, unlike before, so it benefits VZ. But continue with your fantasy, and tell me how Bibi told Trump to do it.
