Russian billionaire Oleg Deripaska warns that expanding U.S. influence over Venezuela’s oil reserves could reshape global power — and seriously weaken Russia’s economy.
🔥 Why It Matters
Venezuela has one of the largest proven oil reserves in the world
If the U.S. gains leverage over these reserves, it could reshape global oil supply
Alongside Saudi Arabia, U.S. influence could extend to nearly 50% of global oil reserves
⚠️ Impact on Russia
Russia’s economy heavily depends on energy exports
U.S. dominance over oil pricing and supply could cut deeply into Russian revenues
Sanctions combined with supply control would leave Russia with limited room to respond
🌍 The Bigger Picture This goes beyond geopolitics — it’s energy warfare.
Control over oil means control over: ✔ Inflation
✔ Trade balances
✔ Currency strength
✔ Global alliances
