Who is on the ground and managing Iraqs oilfeilds today?
China.

USA is seriously weakened by Chinas stranglehold on refined rare earths but seizing Venezuela does very little to change that because Chinas stranglehold is largely in the area of refining rare earths to a point where they are useful- there is no shortage of unrefined rare earths- it is in refining that the USA has lost capacity- and rebuilding that refining capacity is not advanced by seizing Venezuela.
Venezuela is mostly about oil and capturing it and rebooting production using already established US based refineries is a great way to prepare for an attack on Iran without disrupting global oil markets too severely.

China gets the oil from Iraq.
USA is losing its petrodollar hegemony through incompetence and corruption.
Venezuela could well become another costly and tragic disaster like Iraq and Afghanistan have been.

China.

You can invade and kidnap but you cannot win the hearts and minds of those you seek to oppress and enslave to your petrodollar hegemony.

Iraq and Afghanistan told you to fuck off and Venezuela will do too.

When did USA last win a war?
