and it's crappy oil to begin with.

The US is the world's largest oil producing country right now, why would we want to steal VZ's crappy oil?

It's hard to refine, and if Chavez and Maduro hadn't so fucked up their oil production, they might be in a better place economically.

Oil he wants to steal?
