Venezuela, BRICS, and The End Of Dollar Dominance

Venezuela, BRICS, and The End Of Dollar Dominance

Dec. 16, 2025

The United States says this is about drugs, sanctions, and national security.

But when you zoom out, a much bigger story starts to emerge.

Over the past few days, the United States seized a Venezuelan-linked oil tanker accused of transporting sanctioned oil tied to Iran... and shortly after, announced escalating enforcement actions against Venezuela. The official explanation centers on narcotrafficking, sanctions enforcement, and protecting American lives.

And while those reasons deserve to be taken seriously, they don’t fully explain why Venezuela, why now, and what’s really at stake.

In this video, we examine the deeper economic forces shaping this conflict — including:

* Venezuela’s massive oil and gold reserves

* The role of U.S. sanctions as a financial weapon

* Dollar dominance and the global reserve currency system

* BRICS nations working to reduce reliance on the U.S. dollar

* The fentanyl crisis as an economic and national security threat

* How energy, sanctions, and payment rails intersect

* Why blockchain, stablecoins, Bitcoin, and tokenization suddenly matter

* What this could mean for oil, gold, crypto, and global markets

Wars today aren’t just fought with missiles and troops. They’re fought with currencies, sanctions, payment systems, energy flows, and technology.

My goal here isn’t to tell you what to think... it’s to walk through what we know, explore the competing explanations that aren’t being discussed, and let you decide what’s really happening beneath the surface.

If you disagree, think I missed something, or want to add context... drop it in the comments. This channel is growing, and thoughtful discussion matters.
