It's onl..."get hold of that wealth,"<br /><br />It's only worth anything as a feedstock to "European" industrial processes which Venezuela does not possess the competence to operate at a high level of execution....<br /><br />So the refinery capacities are now collapsing in these nations with the new authorization for US refiners to export their products... so all refining (a complex process) is going to now transition to the US... turd world may still be able to produce crude feedstock at best...<br /><br />Iirc Venezuela is still able to produce about 700k bbl/day for US refineries for now...

Venezuela is am oil rich country so every bandit, good for nothing, or psychopath wants to get hold of that wealth, and they will do anything for it. Venezuela may always have trouble finding peace and stability. <br /><br />The old ruling class, who are of European descent, stole the country's wealth centuries ago and now believe they are the rightful owners of all of Venezuela's natural resources.<br /><br /> The US, the good guys, doesn't defend the aspirations of ordinary people like it pretends to do, it wants the wealth of Venezuelan oil pouring into Wall Street rather than benefiting its poor whose land was stolen centuries ago.
