Bloomberg Hails 'Heat' on Venezuela, Omits US Oil Greed
Bloomberg Politics cheerfully reports Donald Trump “turns up the heat” on Venezuela with an oil blockade, framing it as a decisive move against Maduro. What they won't tell you is the US has been turning up this 'heat' for generations, orchestrating coups and sanctions campaigns against any Latin American leader who dares to prioritize their nation's resources over corporate profits. This isn't
about 'democracy' for Venezuela; it's about control over the world's largest proven oil reserves. The US government, regardless of who is in the White House, consistently seeks to undermine nations that do not align with its geopolitical and economic interests. One might wonder at the timing, as gas prices fluctuate and US demand for stable oil supplies remains paramount. The 'sanctions' from
Washington, which are consistently backed by both Republican and Democratic administrations, starve the Venezuelan people, destabilize the economy, and conveniently create a pretext for further intervention. Funny how 'humanitarian crises' often seem to emerge in resource-rich nations targeted by US foreign policy, isn't it?
