One official even says Trump recently asked for updates on preparations for a possible operation.
TL;DR it’s hard to extract, notoriously investor-endangering, isn’t needed (global crude is oversupplied to the tune of 3.3 min bpd) and isn’t easily refined (it’s too dense so always sold at a heavy discount)

Venezuelan oil is only good after it is refined, the best facilities for doing that are in Venezuela, & need to be operational to do that.
Otherwise all you've got is a bunch of heavy, sour crude that costs a ton to refine.

The real reason the US is invading Venezuela goes back to a deal Henry Kissinger made with Saudi Arabia in 1974.
And I'm going to explain why this is actually about the SURVIVAL of the US dollar itself.
Not drugs. Not terrorism. Not "democracy." 1/
The big question is whether they actually want it: it’s horrible quality, needs billions of investment, the US has loads of domestic oil and gas now, and global oil prices are low. Plus imagine trying to secure operations in Venezuela.
Trump stated yesterday that companies will only be reimbursed after investing billions first (lol, right)

Comics are reading.
Genre is reading.
Fanfic is reading.
Text-based games are reading.
Audiobooks are reading.
Braille books are reading.
Non-fiction is reading.
Picture books are reading.
There is no single way to read, nor is any reading style more worthy than another.

Towards the middle of the century, ~4000 glaciers worldwide will disappear every year.
Behind closed doors, and increasingly in public, they're acknowledging the possibility is now real.
