The U.S. doesn’t need Venezuela’s oil. But other countries do.
I always laugh when people blame American military action, such as in the Middle East or elsewhere, on our thirst for oil. To believe this, you have to have an astonishing lack of understanding about economics in general, and oil markets in particular.

Why US is pulling so many military assets out of Europe
In a major pullback of America’s military commitment to Europe, the U.S. is preparing to withdraw some aircraft and warships it previously made available for NATO operations.
According to internal planning documents obtained by The New York Times, American fighter jet allocations — specifically the F-16 and F-15E platforms — will drop by a third, from roughly 150 to 100. The strategic rebalancing also eliminates all eight aerial refueling tankers from the theater and slashes the number of maritime reconnaissance planes from 26 to 15.
Why the cuts could strain NATO
Defense analysts warn the hardware shortfalls could heavily degrade the alliance’s intelligence gathering and long-range conventional.
