For what cause, Venezuela? For what cause?

The U.S. is trying to create a coup in Venezuela.
Max Blumenthal and other good investigative reporters have reported on this as well.While we’re distracted our government is trying to instigate yet another (probably military) coup
I’ve also seen that Eric Prince, brother to Betty Devos, is involved in training these paramilitary troops.

Countries invade and degrade other countries for god, gold and glory. Let’s assume that the United States isn’t attempting a coup – which is like invasion except with just mercenaries – for god. Is it about gold (resources in general)? Or is it for the glory that precedes the invasion and degradation of everything in reach?
