i guess that makes a lot of sense. so the us now controls venezuelan oil more or less completely? is that what’s causing the oil crisis in cuba? sorry i guess i’ve been living under a rock for the past couple weeks; this whole thing has kinda taken me by surprise.
More or less yeah. usa is saying they are going to sell the oil “for” Venezeula but the money is going into an american bank that the usa controls. On top of Cuba losing access to Venezuelan oil usa is threatening a physical blockade and “tariffs” (sanctions) on any nations that try to send anything to Cuba.
