It's not that I am against the idea, but I want to see the US exit out of NATO and drawdown to zero troops in the middle east wholesale first. Venezuela can feed US oil needs for the several hundred years, in addition to "Drill, baby, drill". I would rather see a vassal state set up there vs Cuba which at first just gets the US more welfare mouths to feed. Redevelopment would take decades. We tried a similar stunt in the early 1930s in Haiti. We built those worthless niggers everything they could ever need to run their own country and look at it now.
