There is absolutely no harm in one country unilaterally and forcefully taking over another country because that first country doesn’t like what’s happening in that second country.
I mean in the history of the world when has that ever gone wrong?

Venezuela's Oil Sector in Tatters. Why Trump Isn't After Oil
Trump can run Venezuela, but that doesn't mean he can persuade US oil CEOs to invest billions and years of effort to restore its production.

Venezuelan oil competes with AB oil in the US market.

First of all I'm not an expert. That much must be understood.
Here's a little tale of oil, Canada's domestic politics, American imperialism and a few other things.

Canada has to walk a careful line with Trump-America. Can't come out and say anything condemnatory. Those who criticize Canadian government statements on Venezuala, Israel/Palestine, aren't paying full attention to everything. No one likes it, no one thinks it's right. It's realpolitik
