How the fuck did MAGA go from “drill baby drill” and “energy independence” to “we need to occupy Venezuela for oil”

I've been saying this Maga isn't as conformative as the liberal party you'll see all sorts of perspectives. But that being said they want to sell the oil in venezuela. This would lower your gas prices on average plus boost both country's gdp.

The US has been energy independent since Biden. Venezuelan oil sucks for gas, as 2 mentioned. Gas prices will not be going down in any meaningful way as a result of this

Yes they do you act like there isn't any refinery's already there. They have been extracting this oil for a very long time. I AGREE the oil isn't as easy as other places however due to the quantity alone it's worth trillions of dollars. There is interest already from many oil companies.

Their infrastructure is quite literally falling apart. Their refineries operate at a fifth of their original capacity
