White House: ‘If Something Happens’ in Venezuela, Oil Prices Drop
Newsweek reports the US White House hinting that if 'something happens' in Venezuela, oil prices could fall. This 'something' often involves destabilization, coups, or sanctions that conveniently realign oil flow. Let's not forget the US-backed coup attempt against Hugo Chávez in 2002, supported by figures like Elliott Abrams, who later coordinated Venezuela policy under Trump. The US has a long,
documented history of fostering 'events' in oil-producing nations that don't play ball. One might wonder what precise 'events' are considered beneficial for American gas prices. Is it sovereign nations deciding their own resource management? Or is it the kind of 'regime change' that conveniently unlocks access for US corporations, as seen repeatedly in Latin America? Funny how democracy only seems
to thrive where it coincides with cheap petroleum.
