🇺🇸 The White House announced earlier this month it will maintain control over sales of Venezuela’s sanctioned oil "indefinitely," reigniting debates about resource imperialism in global politics. Critics argue this move echoes historical patterns of powerful nations leveraging economic pressure to exploit others’ natural wealth. 💸🛢️
Venezuela, home to the world’s largest proven oil reserves, has faced crippling US sanctions since 2019. The latest decision comes amid rising energy demands and shifting alliances in Latin America. Analysts suggest this could deepen economic struggles for Venezuelans while strengthening US influence over global oil markets.
🌍 Youth-led climate groups are vocal on social media, calling the move "colonialism in disguise" and urging renewable energy transitions. Meanwhile, geopolitical experts warn of escalating tensions as China and Russia increase investments in South American energy projects.
With 2026 marking a critical year for climate agreements and post-pandemic recovery, this development raises questions: Who benefits from controlling finite resources? And how will younger generations reshape these power dynamics? 💡
