No, they would do it because there is massive money to be made. The Venezuelan people and oil reserves are a great untapped resource, no use letting an entire country go to waste.

I never mentioned anything about "ransacking". Multinational companies are ultra-efficient and very beneficial to their employees and partners. Let them freely do what they do best, and they will generate great wealth in Venezuela. Everybody wins. The communists lose. What's not to like?
