it’s not really about oil, its about *politics*, or more specifically who controls the oil
eg. in 2005 hugo chavez signed the Petrocaribe agreement, in which Venezuela sold Caribbean states oil at discounted prices, the idea being to develop trade partnerships independent from the US-led order

30% of my feed is equally split between “he did it to steal the oil” & “oil companies want no part of completely rebuilding the dilapidated infrastructure in a country in which they don’t know who will be in charge for low quality oil for a market where prices are already low.”
