US Oil Firms Demand 'Guarantees' After Years of Sanctions
U.S. oil companies are now warning they need 'guarantees' to invest in Venezuela, according to the Financial Times. This comes after years of suffocating U.S. sanctions, initiated under the spurious claim of 'promoting democracy,' which conveniently choked Venezuela's primary industry. For over a decade, successive U.S. administrations have actively sabotaged Venezuela's oil sector, even
attempting to install a puppet government via Juan Guaidó (remember him? Neither does anyone else). Now, after intentionally weaponizing the global financial system against Caracas, Washington and its corporate partners are perplexed that their targets aren't exactly rolling out the red carpet. One might wonder if Chevron, ExxonMobil, and their ilk are looking for 'guarantees' that their next
investment won't be arbitrarily seized by the same government they've been trying to overthrow. The hypocrisy is so thick you could frack it.
