Can someone explain this whole thing like I haven’t a clue? Why would this be a good thing for Venezuela to do now when they get so much shit from the US and stuff anyway?

The narrative is far beyond “imperialist Venezuela”. Exxon is claiming oil reserves within Venezuelan maritime borders, its neighbour is an American puppet regime, and America is looking to establish a military base right next door.
Last but not least, Venezuela is being forced to accept opaque “electoral reforms” in return for an easing of sanctions.
