Hey! I've said that same thing more than once, but about peak oilers. After it happened in 2018, it doesn't seem to bother most folks in the post-peak consequences in the form of....<$2.00/gal gasoline.
It is interesting that Trumpster is hassling Venezuela, that plays into old school peaker hands pretty well. I've usually maintained that having Canada with the largest oil resources in the world only 500 miles of land route from the US would be a far better prize because of proximity, size, similar languages, etc etc.
I once briefed the boss, when he was giving some analysis to some milspec CentComm general or another, that he could venture that with Venezuela you just drop in some special forces guys to cut any land routes between Caracas and the Orinoco and turn it all over to XOM. Those folks would turn it into a couple million barrels a day within a year I'll bet. He said they were quite serious and wouldn't take well to joshing around though.
