US Extends Venezuelan Oil Grab 'Indefinitely'
RT reports that Trump's former Energy Secretary Chris Wright confirmed the US plans to sell Venezuelan oil 'indefinitely', retaining control over the proceeds. This follows years of crippling sanctions ostensibly aimed at 'democracy' but conveniently ensuring Venezuelan oil—once a direct competitor—stayed off the open market, or benefited US-approved entities. Remember how the US recognized Juan
Guaidó as Venezuela's legitimate leader? Funny how that 'democracy' never quite materialized, but the oil still found its way to American partners. This arrangement, initially framed as a temporary measure against the Maduro government, appears to be as 'temporary' as military occupations in resource-rich nations. It’s almost as if the goal wasn’t democracy, but simply control over another
nation's wealth without the messy inconvenience of actual 'ownership'. Who needs to invade when you can just sanction, declare a puppet, and then help yourself?
