Okay, so Venezuela is (again) a client state of the US.
They might not be dragging her through the streets because of the same reason they didn’t drag Maduro through the streets: the army and police.
Presumably, Cuba had the USSR for over 30 years. Since Chavez, Venezuela had a weak Russia and possibly a competitor as an oil producer.
But if all the talk about electrification of vehicles is true, it will matter less on who has oil. Ditto if the consequences of global warming are both severe and will happen in the next several years.
The US exploits weaknesses. Venezuela under Maduro was weak; but if the US continues to fuck around, it too will grow weak.
