There is a lot of Petroleum in Venezuela. Venezuela holds the world's largest oil reserves. About 304 billion barrels!
There is so much Petroleum in Venezuela, they only are paying 13 to 16 cents a gallon.
America needs all the Petroleum it can get so we can drive $100,000 gas guzzling SUV and pickup trucks.

Venezuela thinks they can scare our Navy by buzzing us with their ancient Block 15 F-16, made between 1982-1988.
Venezuela only has 3 F-16 and 21 Su-30.
That's their entire Air Force.

They are no match for the U.S. new Block 70/76 F-16 Viper, the F-22, the F-35, F-15 and F-15EX II and the U.S. Navy F-18 and F-35C.
We will swat their Air Force aircraft like flies.
Their Army and Navy also has a potpourri mix of outdated equipment.

We will take care of Venezuela dictator Nicolás Maduro the same way we took care of other dictators and leaders that don't conform with our America's way of life:
Noriega, Pinochet, Hussein, Arafat, Ghaddafi. Ngô Đình Diệm.
Then we will take their Petroleum. Petroleum is power.
Plus the Venezuelan population are tired of dictator Nicolás Maduro.
His socialist policies have turned the country from a bastion of prosperous free enterprise to utter poverty while he enriches his own bank accounts.
95% of Venezuelans are living in poverty based on income, with 77% in extreme poverty.
Aside from Petroleum, there is a more important reason why the United States needs get rid of Dictator Maduro.
He is allied with China and Russia.
We sure don't want China and Russia to get a foothold in Venezuela and establish permanent military bases and dictate their communist and military ideologies and policies only 2,900 miles from America's southern borders.
This is good. America LOVES Petroleum.
