US Discovering Venezuelan Oil, Not Hypocrisy, Is 'Red Line'
According to Bloomberg, the U.S. is 'recalibrating' its approach to Venezuela, with former diplomat Richard Haass explaining that oil access now 'outweighs democracy promotion.' This 'recalibration' follows years of Biden administration sanctions and even attempted coup support, all under the guise of restoring democracy. Funny how 'democracy' only becomes crucial when it aligns with geopolitical
resource control. One might recall similar 'democracy promotions' in Iraq or Libya, which conveniently happened to be oil-rich nations. The shift isn't about enlightened leadership, folks. It's about global market realities and the enduring hypocrisy of US foreign policy. The same State Department that condemned Maduro's 'illegitimate regime' for years is now quietly, desperately, angling for a
deal because Russian oil is off-limits. So, 'freedom' for Ukrainians, but for Venezuelans? Well, their oil is suddenly too heavy to ignore. How many 'democratic transitions' are required before the US just admits it's about the commodities?
