Nuclear strikes against Venezuela are mentioned in the canon - the most likely targets would be the following

Punto Fijo, Venezuela

Punto Cardon, Venezuela

Bajo Grande Refinery - south of Maracaibo

Curacao - Isla Refinery in Willemstad harbor - which serves as a refinery for Venezuelan oil - also taking out the Netherlands naval base at Curacao and the Marines barracks there as well

The nearby refinery at Aruba, while also a likely target, apparently is overlooked - as is stated in Gateway to the Spanish Main - i.e. it says the pirates target would be the oil rich island of Aruba - the only oil on that island would be at the refinery and its storage tanks - if it was nuked there wouldnt be any more oil there to obtain
