As soon as that's done, the new boss of Venezuela will start taking bribes from the drug cartels, as they continue with their worldwide marketing of cocaine and fentaynl. It'll be business as usual, with the only real difference being that US companies get a lot more money from their (now our) oil.

The people of Venezuela won't see any more freedom, or financial gain, than they have now.
