Venezuela is Just the Opening Move 🌍🔥
The recent U.S. intervention in Venezuela isn’t only about Maduro—it's a geopolitical pivot with real energy implications. By shifting control of Venezuelan oil infrastructure and redirecting crude flows toward the U.S., Washington is undercutting a key source of discounted shipments that China has relied on for years. China has been Venezuela’s largest oil buyer, but recent agreements and sanctions risk diverting those barrels away from Beijing and into U.S. refineries. �
Strategically, energy supply routes and chokepoints matter just as much as production. The Bab el‑Mandeb strait connects the Red Sea to the Gulf of Aden — a critical artery for oil and trade — and while it isn’t closed, its control remains key to global shipping security. �
Meanwhile, the Strait of Hormuz — carrying roughly 20–25% of the world’s seaborne oil — remains one of the most important and sensitive energy chokepoints on Earth.
Control the supply, control the transit routes, and you influence the global energy map.
