Yeah, but Russia has tons of oil, due to sanctions by everyone, and China is right next door, and doesn’t recognize sanctions. Sure, their need may be decreasing, but it’s still significant. If Russia has lots of oil, and China is buying the surplus at a presumably lower rate (supply/demand), then Venezuela isn’t an oil priority right now. If they had something else that Russia and/or China need, then they’d be higher priority, but right now they simply aren’t important enough to confront America over.
And the MAGAs probably knew that BEFORE they started harassing Venezuela.
