This is frankly, brilliant.
Get Venezuela to provide America oil. That way, Venezuela gets to feel like they're apart of the team AND have less incentive to cross the USA in their backyard.
Its not that America can't be energy independent, its that its not smart to be because becoming insular is this right wing idea that you get to ignore everything else in the world.
Bring Venezuela into the fold, let them feel like they're partners, and break them away from Russia...that way you get more leverage over them to prevent them from stepping out of line
fukking genius.
