US 'Unlocks' Venezuelan Oil, Keeps Sanctions for Co-operative 'Democracy'
Mainstream media quietly reports on the US easing some sanctions on Venezuelan oil, framed as 'unlocking wealth' for the nation. One might wonder why, after years of crushing sanctions aimed at regime change, Washington suddenly cares about Venezuela's economic fortunes. The historical pattern suggests this 'unlocking' looks suspiciously like a selective reopening, ensuring US and allied companies
get prime access while critical broad-spectrum sanctions endure. This isn't geopolitical altruism; it's classic US foreign policy operating on its accustomed 'rules for thee, not for me' principle. Recall how the US, via the Organization of American States (OAS), has routinely pressured Latin American nations when their resources or politics diverge from Washington's agenda. The narrative of
'reviving' Venezuela's oil conveniently forgets previous efforts to isolate and destabilize its government, directly impacting the very industry now ripe for 'reconstruction' by chosen partners. How many times must a nation be 'liberated' before its resources truly belong to its people?
