Trump’s move on Venezuela was genius. Here’s why…
Most people are still looking at Venezuela through a humanitarian lens, or a sanctions lens, or a simple regime-change lens, but that misses the point entirely.
What happened was a multi-layered chess move.
First, the obvious but rarely stated truth: Venezuela is one of the richest countries on Earth, yet its people were starving. It was a system designed to extract, launder and siphon wealth while keeping the population dependent and broken. That system is now being dismantled.
Trump just severed Venezuela from the hidden empire that had captured it; the opaque networks of intelligence, finance, sanctions-evasion, shadow shipping and offshore intermediaries that turned the country into a cash machine for elites while ordinary Venezuelans queued for bread.
But the real brilliance is how this ties into oil, the dollar, and global power…
“China can buy all the oil they want from us,” ~ President Trump
This sentence changes everything.
As we all know, Venezuela holds the largest proven oil reserves on the planet. For years, it was the cornerstone of the de-dollarisation project: China bought most of its crude from Venezuela, Russia helped secure the regime, and oil moved quietly, often off-ledger, feeding a parallel system designed to bypass the dollar altogether.
Trump didn’t confront that system head-on, he absorbed it; China can still buy Venezuelan oil, Russia can still access supply, but now it flows through American firms, under American oversight, and settled in dollars.
Every barrel now reinforces the dollar instead of undermining it.
In a matter of days, years of BRICS positioning were quietly neutralised, not by sanctions or war, but by control of supply.
And the best part is, that Venezuelans benefits too: Infrastructure investment can finally flow back into the country. Oil revenues no longer disappear into offshore black holes. The nation actually profits from its own resources again. A real economy can begin to function instead of a permanent crisis state.
And there’s also the political dimension…
The Smartmatic story is crucial as part of exposing how elections, narratives and legitimacy were manipulated to keep certain regimes in place. Once that architecture starts collapsing, electoral control and tyranny collapse with it, not just in Venezuela, but far beyond it.
So what you’re left with is something rare in geopolitics:
• a population freed from manufactured scarcity
• a country able to rebuild using its own wealth
• a global energy market stabilised
• a de-dollarisation push quietly reversed
• and a shadow power structure dismantled without a war
And this is what makes the move so elegant; no war, no invasion, no humanitarian catastrophe. It’s a win for everyone, except the parasites.
Venezuela was checkmate against the globalist cabal.
