If I remember correctly, Chevron was already buying oil from Venezuela. Exxon maybe.

  • They always did. I'm not saying they are clean or innocent in general. But in this specific case, they (1) already had a beneficial agreement, and (2) don't seem to have gained anything from the war. So, in this specific case, I don't think they were responsible (or they miscalculated horribly, which is also possible).
