It's also about so-called domino theory, Venezuela having nationalized oil production creates popular pressure for other Latin American countries to nationalize their oil production. That's been the reason for US hostility to Venezuela since forever. Also also, capturing Venezuela would then make it easier to go after Brazil and every other country in the region.

So, yeah, there's lots of economic and geopolitical reasons for war in Venezuela. I just mean it has nothing to do with freedom lol
