never a war was won without boots on the ground... look at Ukraine war, Russia is pounding them on a daily basis yet they still there after 4 + years, TACO can control the skies as much as he wants but the ground still there and will not be conquered by air

No, the US may not need the oil, but there is something it would like to have

"U.S. Control and Sales: The U.S. Treasury has issued licenses allowing U.S. companies to engage with Petróleos de Venezuela S.A. (PDVSA) under strict conditions, with sales proceeds channeled to U.S.-supervised accounts rather than directly to the Venezuelan government."

Similarly in neighbouring Guyana... Both under Trump administrations with allegations of election tampering.

Cannot tamper with elections, then let's snatch or kill their leaders...
