Venezuela WAR for Oil?

Tensions between the U.S. and Venezuela are rising fast after new statements and policy moves tied to Venezuela’s regime, sanctions enforcement, and oil. Some commentators are even warning this could spiral toward a military confrontation — while others argue it’s pressure tactics aimed at leverage, energy, and political outcomes.

In this video, I break down what was actually said, what the reported actions would mean in practice (sanctions, interdictions, and maritime enforcement), how Venezuela’s oil and gas factor into the messaging, and what escalation pathways could realistically look like. We’ll separate confirmed statements from speculation, add historical context, and map the incentives driving each side.
