It went well, but now the politicians are involved, where it goes from here, time will tell.
Perhaps along with offering our invaders, criminal aliens, free plane rights home, we should offer our DEIs and pro Maduro protesters free flights to Venezuela.
With the skills and abilities, whines and demands they'd bring to aid the totalitarian socialist holdovers, Venezuela would be a fee country in no time.
Yeah, oil is a pretty big strategic factor in Russia having the funding to try to do the Russia things. Which makes doable manipulation a potentially driving factor in US foreign policy, in a way that is not always the case.
Fighting men are expensive, so spending them for something like oil is a waste, if we can just improve our fracking technology instead. Lots of places where there is cheaply extractable oil are socially difficult locations, and occupying them is wasteful if we can otherwise avoid a fight.
But, fighting men are expensive, so if we have limited options to avoid having to spend them, all sorts of things become more rational as battlespace prep.
If we have enough problems imported here, or if our foreign adversarial partners have clarified their positions on timing, then we want to pick the circumstances for the fighting which are best for us.
I view the TCOs as being enough of a problem here. And our foreign adversaries seem to have clarified that they might be fighting.

I remember the viral question:
“Those who say that the U.S. is only interested in our oil, I ask you: What do you think the Russians and the Chinese wanted here?
The recipe for arepas?"
