With the
Venezuela crisis escalating after the US’ provocative intervention
against elected leader Nicolas Maduro last week, an honest admission
by National Security Advisor John Bolton was overlooked by the media:
It’s about oil.
Trump’s
top adviser, who has been branded the most fervent hawk in the
administration, has admitted that Washington is heavily invested in
political outcomes in Caracas particularly because of Venezuela’s
vast untapped oil reserves.
Indeed,
it just so happens that Venezuela has the world’s largest proven
oil reserves.
Speaking
to Fox Business host Trish Regan, Bolton said that the US had “a
lot at stake” in Venezuela’s political crisis, specifically
citing the country’s oil and the economic benefit it could bring to
the US.
"We're in conversation with major American companies now...It would make a difference if we could have American companies produce the oil in Venezuela. It would be good for Venezuela and the people of the United States." - John "Chickenhawk" Bolton, servant of Swamp King Trump. pic.twitter.com/M8rl8UqAdm— HootHootBerns #RunBernieRun🌹🐦 (@HootHootBerns) January 28, 2019
