To be frank it’s all US built infrastructure that Venezuela nationalized and didn’t pay the US companies a dime. There’s a reason the country owe billions to US companies for seizing everything once it was finished. It’s also why it all fell into disrepair because they took it brand new and had no idea how to do maintenance on it leading to their oil production collapse.

Yeah I heard it went from 4M barrels to 300k per day.

Yeah I didn’t know this.

I am by no means saying that we need to get into the nation building game again. However, I do think that here were we are the ones that built the systems that are now in disarray would be mutually beneficial for both countries. Now that is going to mean that the remaining cronies of the regime are going to have to leave and I think after the operation they would likely be much more open to stepping aside if the US can arrange an out route for them.
