US has no need of oil in fact US is advantaged by no further sources of oil coming to market. US is oil independent and needs a high oil price to support that independence.

Im asking God to turn 🇻🇪 around and heal the people and send the proper change to their gov tht will help the people of that country rise up from the suffering. 🙏 ✝ God Bless the entire 🌎 ❤

Looks like Cuba to me! People have a God given right to prosper not starve to non existence.

I wonder if all of this has anything to do with Venezuela's oil

Let me fix the title of this video for you:

"Will USA again Try to topple the Maduro regime in Venezuela?"

[Dear_Mr._Isaiah_Deringer]

Wait they are putting out a *reward* of 15 million for information leading to arrest of conviction of a *person?*
Isn't it usually that you put out a reward for finding the *information* to a crime that lead to an arrest/conviction.
This seems a bit backwards.

Socialism is to blame for the state of Venezuela

[TheLadyluna]

My thought! I don't believe there is a shortage of oil. Otherwise if there was America wouldn'!t be trying so hard to get their man in office still. With America it's all about MONEY & OIL!. That's how they roll! Thank about it.

@1:40 Only I get to that!!!
@2:00 And we all know how badly wars on multiple fronts end up.

Why haven’t the people revolted against the government when they are starving to death

[organiccomposition]

No it will not be removing the current rightfully elected government of Venezuela

I'd be interested in knowing which, if any, "regimes" the coronavirus is not putting a strain on. The British don't seem to be particularly enamored with Boris Johnson's "regime" and the same could be said of Brazil's, Italy's, France's or Spain's.

And than the other concern of alexander in Argentina...why is such a figure so close to our capital

[DaveBraga]

So important for them to include the cents in the $15, 000, 000.00 reward.

[candicem]

[imjuxtiinnnn]
