Trump Motives in Venezuela Simplified

It's always interesting to listen to the spin put on to stupid and illegal actions by our government, under the most corrupt, dumb, and brown-nosing administration in American history. This morning, I listened as Marco Rubio avoided answering the questions from George Stephanopoulos, repeatedly. And he spilled their hand by what was said between the lines, when he told George that Venezuela needs private oil companies to go in and administer the oil for the people of Venezuela so that it is not solely for the benefit of a few rich individuals.

Looking in from the outside, it all seems so insane. There has to be a better way to handle these disputes.
