US Labels Venezuela a 'Terrorist' Threat, Ignores Its Own Oil Obsession
Remember when the US didn't blink at Saudi Arabia's human rights record because, well, oil? Or how many 'terrorist' regimes suddenly become allies when they 'cooperate'? (See: Post-9/11 'alliances'). Venezuela's crime, it appears, wasn't actually terrorism, but sitting on the world's largest proven oil reserves (OPEC, 2023) and refusing to play ball. The 'blockade' isn't about human rights; it's
about US control of foreign resources, plain and simple. One might wonder if the US would be so quick to label Canada a 'terrorist organization' if they decided to nationalize their oil sands—or if the definition only applies when the country can't fight back. Funny how 'democracy' and 'freedom' often follow the scent of crude, isn't it?
