> the sanctions on Venezuela have crushed the economy

Maduro crushed their economy. The us can’t sanction oil producers into the ground as we’ve seen with Russia. It was their incredibly shitty economic policy that destroyed living standards in Venezuela. Absolutely no other reason oil production should be lower than it was a decade ago

Other than, you know, the sanctions that prevent them from selling their oil to most ofd the world?

Didnt stop Russia. More than enough countries willing to go against the US for oil. China alone would buy as much as Venezuela can produce.
