Bloomberg Discovers Oil Dictates US Foreign Policy
The Bloomberg article posits that "global oil wanted" Delcy Rodríguez all along to replace Nicolás Maduro, presenting this as some kind of recent strategic maneuver by corporate executives. This isn't groundbreaking insight; it's the modus operandi of US foreign policy in resource-rich nations. The pattern is clear: foment instability, sanction the economy, then back a 'moderate' acceptable to
corporate interests. Remember the 2002 coup attempt against Hugo Chavez, covertly supported by the US? Or the continuous sanctions that crippled Venezuela's economy, leading to a humanitarian crisis the same 'global oil' entities now conveniently bemoan? This isn't about democracy; it's about control over the world's largest proven oil reserves. The US government, despite its rhetoric about
democracy, consistently aligns with regimes—or even coup leaders—who promise unfettered access to resources. To present this as some new discovery, rather than the historical norm for US intervention in Latin America, is less journalism and more corporate amnesia. How many times must the US destabilize a country for 'freedom' before we recognize the scent of crude oil?
