Venezuela's sanctioned oil trade directly funds terrorism and enriches hostile regimes like Iran, Russia and China, making a blockade and seizure of these tankers a necessary national security measure. The Maduro regime operates as a narcoterrorist cartel that has stolen billions in American oil assets through illegal expropriations, and seizing those resources isn't aggression — it's recovering what was taken through internationally adjudicated theft.
Invading Venezuela for oil makes zero economic sense when America already exports millions of barrels daily and gas prices sit at historic lows, proving the fracking revolution eliminated any need for foreign reserves. Regime change has failed catastrophically in Afghanistan, Iraq and Libya, creating chaos rather than stability, and attacking Venezuela would spark a forever war in our own hemisphere with migration and instability spilling directly into American communities.
