“What lies behind this,” said Petro, “is the same thing behind the war in Ukraine... petroleum,” noting the size and quality of Venezuela’s reserves. “In general, all of the wars of this century had to do with oil.”

If Trump were to get the upper hand, Petro suggested, the United States would get Venezuela’s oil “almost for free,” predicting that—“based on the evidence so far”—that the US will go to war over the resources.

Trump, said Petro, “is not thinking about the democratization of Venezuela, let alone the narco-trafficking,” adding that Venezuela is not considered a major drug producer or transit point for most narcotics headed to the United States.

Venezuela is ask in for it. If you don't want to be invaded make sure your oil reserves are very modest. USA just can't help it, it is in its nature.
