CMV: The US is invading Venezuela to stockpile oil for an an incoming war with Europe (and maybe Canada)

The US has just invaded Venezuela and in the words of their own president: "they will provide us with 30-50million barrels of oil."
I don't believe that is because they wish to sell the oil to earn money. I believe they are going to try to avoid the same fate Germany ended up in, having to divert resources just to keep their war apparatus going. I believe their plan is to try to stockpile as much oil as possible, to be able to maintain a functional logistical chain for as long as possible. The United States Military is not powerful because they have 'highly technological' weapons. They are powerful because of their impressive logistics. The machine gun is not dangerous. The trucks running the ammo, the trains transporting the trucks fuel, and the forklift loading everything onto the train *is* .
The US admin is not stupid, it's dangerous to think of your enemy as unintelligent. They know that they have never attacked a well equipped military, and that this will require a lot more resources than previous conflicts. They know that if they attack Greenland, then Europe has no choice but to remove access to their bases, stop trade, and (if we aren't posturing) defend Greenlanders right
