    Venezuela is not on the other side of the Ocean, and neither is it as militarily capable as Russia or Iran. Obviously, they also don’t have nukes. The US would steamroll Venezuela if they judge it necessary to protect their precious oil.

      This is such a crucial time in world history… the US is losing control of so many resource-rich regions, that it has to pick which ones it wants to cling on to. It’s probably a good time for VZ to do this, considering the US is embroiled in two conflicts already (Ukraine and Israel), and might not be able to muster up getting involved in yet another.
