I mean to be fair they just don’t have the infrastructure to extract it anymore. Economic sanctions since the Obama years have mean that the equipment to extract crude has become hard to maintain.
No. But they aren’t refusing to sell it. They just don’t have it. And are under various sanctions by the US, EU and most south American countries over human rights abuse so they probably couldn’t sell oil anyway.
Actually it’s kinda ironic that Venezuela is under sanctions for human rights abuse but not the Gulf states.
Oh and I wasn’t actually trying to go anywhere with my comment but I do realize how it sounds now. But I am not in favor of invading anyone
I read somewhere that a large amount of the refining capacity in America is geared towards dilbit like the one that used to come from Venezuela and now from Canada. Perhaps Venezuelan fishermen’s oil is still cheaper in the end and therefore more desirable.
For comparison, Venezuela has the world’s largest oil reserve at 303 billion barrels.
Winter is coming.
Is THAT why we have an aircraft carrier off the coast?
They’ve got oil and they’re NOT sharing it with rich people?
Yes. Duh.

So, because they can’t use it, we should take it?

Yes.
More like perpetual summer
More like the Permian era summer.
This could be a good thing for venezuelan fishermen.

Won’t somebody PLEASE think of the cocaine?
Not that Venezuela has any. But I think we can all agree that legalizing cocaine and doing lots of cocaine is the most important issue of the day.
COCAINE!!!
Think of it as a weight loss drug for rich people.
Not for much longer, given the current events.
And the reason why they got bad hombres on boats these days.
And Trump is flexing the military at them.
