Because, frankly, its a good bet that Trump's Oil Company buddies essentially orchestrated this and are using their good buddy and the US Military for their own purposes.

I do wonder what the longer term effects of this will be, I have a lot of 'Oil Refugees' from Venezuela as clients...I wonder if they might consider going back home? Not immediately as they'd probably want the dust to settle, but eventually?
Well the part that’s not identical is the state of disrepair of the infrastructure there. Some companies were struggling to try to do things there years ago, and now it’s sat for 20 years. It’s a years long project to get that rolling. I’m sure companies will see the profit and with the government backing they will invest, but it’s not happening quickly.
