You're damn right it's about oil but that's only part of it. Venezuela is one of the largest net exporters of oil on the planet. The Venezuelans have nationalized their oil industries and are heavily in bed with the Russians and the Chinese. Would you like that to continue or would you like to see that oil in the hands of a government more friendly to the United States?

Yet oil is not the only factor. The geopolitical alignment of Venezuela with Russia, China, and Iran has made the country a hub of multipolar defiance in the Western Hemisphere. Nearly 90 per cent of Venezuelan crude is now exported to China, which has lent Caracas more than $60 billion in recent decades Beijing is also modernising Venezuela’s decaying oil infrastructure and providing military equipment. Russia, meanwhile, has delivered fighter jets, surface-to-air missiles, and advisers. Moscow’s military footprint in Venezuela remains limited, but its symbolic weight is considerable: Russian jets landing in Caracas transform a local standoff into a potential global flashpoint. This is why Venezuela looms so large in Washington’s imagination. It is not merely about regime change in Caracas; it is about preventing China and Russia from consolidating influence in what the U.S. still perceives as its exclusive sphere under the Monroe Doctrine. Secretary of State Mike Pompeo and National Security Advisor John Bolton openly revived this doctrine during Trump’s first term. The colonial undertone was evident: Latin America, persistently framed as Washington’s “backyard,” remains a contested terrain, now reaffirmed by the present Secretary of State Marco Rubio with less brain and more rigid ideological emphasis.
