The American and Venezuelan people remain in the dark about how the Trump administration is controlling billions of dollars of Venezuelan oil revenue. Without accountability mechanisms or a clear democratic roadmap, the United States risks entrenching a corrupt successor regime.
I know two Venezuelans. Both of them left because of the Chavez/Maduro government‘s mismanagement of the economy and oppression of the opposition. Neither of them is well off or well connected, so they left the country to make a living.
When Trump started his intervention, both of them said „Trump can take the oil, I don’t care, as long the government finally changes“.
Becoming a US territory like Puerto Rico would improve the lives of most Venezuelans pretty noticeably.
He WILL take the Oil and the people will still be oppressed. Thats like making a deal with the devil and gaining nothing in return other that having the very brief satisfaction that your oppressor got fucked. I am Venezuelan and I also can see that both things are pretty bad
