Lol. Regarding Venzuela, there is still exactly zero appetite among the general public for another nation building boondoggle. So what if they have oil. We have plenty of oil too. The idea of "building" a friendly nation that's dependent on us to sell us oil has little upside these days.

Regarding Iran, the defense industry is drooling over the idea that the next president may thaw relations and they'll be able to sell to both sides of the Iran/Israel standoff.
