- US claims the Venezuelan estate has large debts in the US.
- Trump decides that Maduro is not legit (which may actually be true), so he install another guy (just because, there is not proof this guy is legit anyway). This would be Guaido.
- Then Guaido is assigned to formally manage the US subsidiary of PDVSA (state Venezuelan Oil company). Company name CITGO.
- An US court orders CITGO to be put to auction. An US company, pretty much owned by a fund (Elliot) buys it for 5 Billion.
- Guaido pretends to opose and apeal.
- The Venezuelan company ends being US.
Meanwhile, you got a full carrier group and some assault troops deployed in front of Venezuela. Now, anyone dare say this is about "drugs".

He is there to take, he is in Ukraine to take and he is in the US to take.
