Black Gold_ The Oil Underpinning U.S. Power
Published 1 day, 10 hours ago
Description
ztoday we dive deep into a topic that's been at the center of U.S. foreign policy for decades: oil. It's not just a commodity; it's a driving force behind military actions, economic strategies, and even geopolitical alliances, so let’s explore how oil fuels the wheels of power in America.
Oil has always been more than just the liquid flowing through our vehicles and industries. It represents economic interests, national security, and sometimes, even the justification for military action. A great example of this is the situation in Venezuela, where immense oil reserves estimated to hold up to 303 billion barrels are at stake. This makes Venezuela’s oil a significant pawn in the geopolitical chess game. In January 2026, under the Trump administration, the U.S. launched a military operation that ultimately led to the ousting of President Nicolás Maduro. This military move wasn’t just about regime change; it was about seizing control of Venezuela’s critical oil assets.
