RE:War …lol I wouldn't lol too loud Frank. Maria Corina Machado wants a deal on the disputed territory called Essequibo. She claims it for Venezuela. If she wins in one of her first actions she vows to privatize the national oil company PDVSA owner of over 200 billion barrels of oil reserves and the 5th largest nat gas reserves on the planet. If the American majors want a piece of the Venezuelan action then Venezuela's claim has to be settled amicably. Also CNOOC won't want American war ships blowing Venezuelan gun boats out of the water.
