Discourse is very annoying right now because American oil companies don't actually want to deal with Venezuela, but the entire endeavor was obviously pitched to Trump as a colonial resource extraction play, so it IS a war for oil even if that doesn't make sense! Cults of personality aren't rational.

the administration wants to frame this (bizarrely) as law enforcement. but if law enforcement conducted a raid for a suspect and killed 40 people, including an unknown number of unarmed civilians, it would be treated as a clear disaster like Waco.
NYT:
At least 40 people were killed in the US attack on Venezuela, including military personnel and civilians.

I'll spell it out: Offering that Maduro is bad but the strikes and kidnappings violated legal procedure, is discursively like closing the back door to Trump while opening the front door. You concede the moral case, and offer a legal one that nobody without a lanyard knows of or gives a shit about.

I was in a ridiculous meeting once where the goal was to define what a franchise meant for Netflix films. I have never wanted to hurl myself into the ocean more than during that meeting. I think they bought WB so they can inherit proven franchises instead of doing the work of developing them.
