‘THE BOTTOM LINE’: Why Trump Seized Venezuela’s Oil Despite Global Oversupply – OXY NEWS CHANNEL

from OXY NEWS CHANNEL · host colonel

 In this deep-dive episode of OXY NEWS CHANNEL, we explain the strategic genius—or madness—behind the 2026 Venezuela intervention. While the world faces an oil glut, we break down why the White House is prioritizing the Orinoco Belt. We examine the three-pronged strategy: cutting off China's discounted energy supply, using a $50-per-barrel price target to bankrupt Iran and Russia, and securing the heavy crude essential for U.S. Gulf Coast refineries. Featuring insights from Gen. Jack Keane and energy analysts, we ask: is this a "resource grab" or the ultimate move in a new Cold War?
