  1. Its not just the oil supply. The problem with invading and taking over a 'basket case' of a country like Venezuela is that you have to manage it, or in this case set up a whole new management structure (government) to prevent it from turning into a lawless patch of land (like Libya and Somalia).

  2.  @BillDoughzer69  I thought it was already being transformed into a producing offshore field but progress was halted as its an offshore field that looks like its shared between Guyana and Venezuela, and relations between the two have deteriorated since Maduro has threatened to invade Guyana.

  3. Considering how poor Venezuela is in general, and even though the country is littered with AK-47 weapons that could (theoretically) create a significant militia to thwart and invasion, does anyone have enough spare cash to buy the ammo for all those AK-47s?
