If so, why not refine it in Venezuela and ship the refined product to the U.S. refineries on the Gulf of Mexico for further processing?
I doubt that the Venezuelan crude can be any dirtier than the Canadian shale oil crude.
You are correct. It's a lot cleaner, a nice light sweet crude, much better than the Saudi crap, and being so close to our Texas refineries, we are the natural market for that oil.

We has 12 Super Carriers that say yes, yes they do.
This force. And 10% for the big guy.
The only gun held on Venezuela is the economic gun of sanctions not the military type.
We need their crude they need to have the sanctions eased.
So what gives the US the right to impose sanctions on other countries when they don't do things we think they should be doing? Venezuela, Russia and others.

I’d guess that it’s something along the lines of Might is Right whether it be economically or militarily.
Or we could just ignore everything that’s going on around the world.
It seems to come down to which puppet government we choose to reward and support or to drop the hammer on.

Yes, we need the crude, and we are about to need it a whole lot more. The timing is not accident:
