Nothing to do with Venezuela's oil reserves & heavy crude US needs for

It's not really Trump's business to take people out. The most perplexing thing of them all is that it seems to be the business of the average
PerSu Joe in little Fingolia.

Good and bad don't enter into human transactions at this scale. It's national benefit, however this might be defined.
If anyone actually believes that any nation is interested in the form of government of another nation so that these foreign populations can have
more individual freedom, they have just admitted to believing in Santa Claus.

Back during Bush I and II, they denied that Iraq was about the oil, though of course it was. Now Trump just says it outright about Venezuela.

Yep, this seems to be an unusual US-backed coup, in that we left no core military force there to seize/hold key installations.
In a way they blew the rudder off of one of those cigarette boats
they've been blasting out of the water with Hellfire missiles the last
few months.
But the analogy breaks down because Maduro wasn't much of a rudder, and Venezuela's not much of a boat.
It really could go pretty bad down there. We'll have to see.

P.S. Europe is pretty worried about the Greenland threat. And even that

has apparently decreased military presence there on its own will.

Neither good nor bad, just *is*. Like gravity.
