12. How naive is she, then?

But I think the real problem with her is she was willing to sell out her country to get what she wanted. Of course she knew Trump would take the oil. She even touted it as an incentive for the invasion. She called it a "$1.7 trillion opportunity" for investors, specifically mentioning American companies would "make a lot of money".

She sold out Venezuela.

I will never understand what the hell happened to the esteemed Nobel Committee.
