CARACAS, Venezuela (AP) — At least seven explosions and low-flying aircraft were heard around 2 a.m. local time Saturday in Venezuela’s capital, Caracas. The government accused the United States of attacking civilian and military installations in multiple states.

Venezuela’s government, in the statement, called on its supporters to take to the streets.
“People to the streets!” the statement said. “The Bolivarian Government calls on all social and political forces in the country to activate mobilization plans and repudiate this imperialist attack.”
The statement added that President Nicolás Maduro had “ordered all national defense plans to be implemented” and declared “a state of external disturbance.” That state of emergency gives him the power to suspend people’s rights and expand the role of the armed forces.
Sooo, what natural resource do they want to steal from Venezuela?
Oil, it has the largest unexploited oil deposits of any nation on earth.
Doesn’t seem to matter that the IEA has said about 1.6million barrels a day have been cut from demand becase .of electric vehicles, with that nunber to keep going lower as ecars increase.
But it gets better (worse, actually) - they have low quality oil with the lowest demand and expensive refining
It’s very similar to Alberta tar sand, as I understand it, which Americanrefineries are set up for. Replace Canada’s supply, then Canada can be safely invaded without danger to the oil supply, maybe.

Seems not worth it because it still needs more infrastructure
Ah. Same old same old. How boring.
"Trump says that the US is going to be “strongly involved” in Venezuela’s oil industry moving forward. "

Someone fucking quarantine the U.S. already, I’m so sick of them. We can fish out the sensible people but the rest can just rot.
Someone should extract the Trump administration.
Oil, as always.
