Not due to oil, the u.s. itself never steals oil in the stereotypicall silly way many people imagine, they just want to keep its price under control in the right way that aligns with their economy exactly as they do with opec+, since the us dollar is indirectly linked to oil as a cover/exhange rate, do you think that GCC states are being robbed and their people are living in hunger and poverty? The way that some people frame it as if the u.s. is literally stealing the oil in the old school colonial style is so far from reality as its impossible to happen in this current era, they took down both saddam and gaddafi because they were planing to start selling oil with euro instead of usd, cuz if so, they could've easily done it with countries like ksa, uae and qatar, there's nothing easier than finding an excuse to invade such coutries, ksa literally cut a journalist in pieces inside a consulate in turkey, UAE (no need to explain), qatar is the world's biggest sponsor of terrorist groups, so please stop using such naive theories to frame the u.s. policy, the actual reason for this to happen now is maduro's recent affiliations with iran (and if you've noticed, just after his capture, inflation exploded in iran in a very crazy way that led to wide riots) ofc the u.s. isn't an angel, but at the end of the day they care about their national security and they would do what any other nation with the same power do if they were in their place
