🛢️ THE OIL PARADOX — VENEZUELA
🇻🇪 Venezuela sits on the largest oil reserves on Earth
~303 BILLION barrels underground…
Yet in 2023, crude exports totaled just $4.05B 🤯
Why?
Because owning resources ≠ controlling markets.
When access to global trade is cut off:
Oil stays underground
Capital never flows
People stay poor
This isn’t about geology.
It’s about power.
👉 Power decides who sells
👉 Power decides who gets paid
Markets move on control, not abundance. ✅
