🔺Continuation from above @rednile12 The hard economics Trump isn’t selling: ▪️ Venezuela once produced 4M bpd — now barely 1M ▪️ Infrastructure is decayed after decades of neglect ▪️Modernization costs: up to $180B, taking years ▪️ Heavy crude is expensive; it only works with high oil prices ➡️ Yet Trump markets this as a short-term price-cutting solution. It doesn’t add up. Who’s still in? 👉Chevron, which was already operating under sanctions — and knows the risks. 💰 From “War Profiteer” to Venezuela Power Broker? Reuters reveals billionaire oil trader Harry Sargeant III as a key architect of Trump’s Venezuela strategy. 🔹 Longtime GOP megadonor & Trump golfing partner 🔹 Advising the White House on Venezuela’s oil “endgame” 🔹 Met Energy Secretary Chris Wright 🔹 Advocates rebuilding oil infrastructure 🔹 Pushes deals with Delcy Rodríguez, not US-backed opposition figures Sargeant’s background raises alarms: 🟥Iraq War contracts: ▪️ His firm won $2.7–$3.1B in Pentagon fuel contracts ▪️ Congress found $160–$204M in overcharges ▪️ Described as “reprehensible war profiteering” ▪️ Pentagon audits confirmed massive overpayments 🟥Political scandals: ▪️ Linked to illegal campaign donations ▪️ McCain campaign returned bundled funds ▪️ Employee indicted for foreign money schemes ▪️ Forced to resign as Florida GOP finance chair 🔍 The Pattern Is Clear The US bankrupted Citgo, forced its sale for ~$6B, then moved to “take over” Venezuela — mirroring tactics used in tech, trade, and sanctions warfare elsewhere. Same script. Different country. Same question: 👉Who profits — and who pays the price? 📡@rednile12 Geopolitics | Multipolarity | Sovereignty | Strategic Reality #Venezuela#USA#OilPolitics#Sanctions#ImperialEconomics#MultipolarWorld
