John Bolton:
Any violence and intimidation against U.S. diplomatic personnel, Venezuela’s democratic leader, Juan Guiado, or the National Assembly itself would represent a grave assault on the rule of law and will be met with a significant response.
[ link to twitter.com (secure)] Quoting: Pacifica Sanctions on Venezualean oil is my guess, driving up oil prices so the US can capitalise on it's increasing oil export market... Also restricting oil to China and Russia, China being the leading importer of oil... Venezualea us just a drop in the ocean. China only just recently overtook the USA as the world's leading net importer of oil. The US therefore relies on cheap oil to sustain its economy as well as weakening its international enemies such as Iran, Russia, Venezuela, all whom are dependent on oil revenues. The neocons are often pressuring the Saudis, sometimes successfully, to supply more oil to the market pushing down prices further. The US is somewhat selfsufficent in oil, and roughly 40% of exports come from Canada... The US has become number one on production of oil and can manipulate the market in a variety of ways, restricting other nations production capabilities will not only drive up oil prices but it would allow the US to cash in hard, another way is as you stated increase production of other nations to bring prices down... I believe we are at a point where the intent to manipulate others capability to produce so the market goes in favour of the US directly allowing it to become a net exporter, and allowing the US to stem the flow of oil at any time it choses to China and other nations, it also takes away financial sources from nations like Iran and now Venezualea who was recently a top 5 nation the US imported from... If SHTF the US would be in a energy advantage, but that's not the goal the goal is to win big and reduce debt, war is the likely consenqunce. I don't know where you got that idea from because it simply isn't that case that the US is self sufficient in crude oil, not in the slighest. Even with Canada excluded the U.S. is heavily dependent on its oil from other countries. here's a chart from the U.S. Energy Information Administration (EIA) showing it: [ link to crudeoilpeak.info] As such, the US cannot afford supply disruption because even a moderate rise in the oil price starts to be detrimental to the US economy. The US is trying to become less dependent on their oil from the middle east and the Saudis, particuarly with the strained relations due to the Khashoggi killing. So now they are trying to force the US-backed coup in Venezuela so they can secure their much needed oil resource from there.
