14. What would that even entail?

Trump yesterday spoke of big oil companies going in to "fix" the oil producing infrastructure. Are there any US oil companies that want to put their people into Venezuela with a mission to exploit their oil resources? Do they have any proposal as to how to divide the oil revenue? Do they have any agreement on the responsibilities of the oil company to Venezuela?

If it appears to Venezuelans that the companies are stealing their oil, how safe will the oil company people be? Will we surround the area with US troops? If so, will that cost mean that the cost of that oil is too high especially in the current market?

Not to mention, having the Secretary of State say this should make people who believed that it was about the drugs realize why we were involved in regime change.
