Why should a second country take the resources, instead of making Venezuela free and they keep their own?

If “making free” means building outside a system of freedom, that’s too expensive. The U.S. tried to build a “democracy” in Iraq but failed.
If “making free” means just leaving people alone do what whatever they want, it’s not necessary. (They’d end up with another warlord anyways.) If the citizens of a free country want resources, why not provide them with a legitimate way to get it? The U.S. could, instead of making hypocrite puppet regimes, fully integrate (with military if needed) the resources they need into her system.

And Trumpty Dumpty promised he wouldn't be nation building or starting wars. I believe "no more wars, America first!" was a campaign talking point. And now a war started in our own backyard against an "enemy" who posed no threat, but had resources to grab. Trump is a fraud.
