Why did Venezuela oil sale fund go to a Qatar account in the first place?

Now they’re putting it all on dogecoin.

1B was the Trump self payment for this wonderful deal

What the fuck is happening here? They just swooped in and hijakcked the oil revenues?

I’m not a geopolitical expert, but here’s my take on this:

Venezuela was selling a lot of oil to China and Russia, but not selling the oil in US dollars, because of all the sanctions the US government had put on Venezuela. Iran also is/was not selling their oil in US dollars, again because of the sanctions.

It is very important to the US government that oil be sold in US dollars because it strengthens the U.S. dollar’s global role, lowers U.S. borrowing costs, and reinforces American financial and geopolitical power.

For a government that has massive debt and is facing rising global influence from China and other BRICS countries, this is a problem. China has also said very explicitly that BRICS countries should move toward conducting all business in Chinese yuan.

So, I believe that is why the US invaded Venezuela and sent Venezuelan oil revenues to Qatar, and I also believe that is why they are now threatening Iran.

Of course, they also want to invade Iran because that is what Netanyahu and AIPAC want, so it a sort of two birds with one stone type thing.

This doesn’t really explain why Trump is actively pushing away and threatening the USA’s best trading partners, but I suspect that is just Trump being himself.

Anyway, that’s one guy’s take on this mess.
