Why is Venezuela important?

That's one coup I'd be in favor of.

Nice chart on oil reserves. Venezuela has more proven oil reserves than any nation. Marxism has made Venezuela totally incapable of exploiting their great natural gift. Their oil industry both exploration and production and refining is in total shambles. Their refining capabilities are in such sad shape as to make them import gasoline.

I worked in Venezuela in the 70s pre Chavez in oilfield exploration. We had a clean efficient industry then.

Maduro will be gone within a year. It will take many years to restore their oilfields to efficiency. The engineers and technicians have left Venezuela. Many work in the USA and other nations in South America. It will take many years to repair the damage of Marxism.
