Exxon Mobil does business on 6 continents. Only 25% of its business and investment is in the US. Good luck boycotting. In the last Senate hearings that I watched the CEO of Exxon implied that Exxon could survive quite well without America business because it was more restrictive by government regulation than most countries. Venezuela just tried a government power play and they simply just got up and left.

Only 25%? Ask the Exxon shareholders if a 25% reduction is so insignificant.

If that's true I'll bet if Venezuela was 25% of its business and investment they would've sung a different tune.
