Most people think Iraq, Iran & Venezuela = OIL 🛢️
That’s the surface story.
The real game? SYSTEM CONTROL.
This isn’t about oil in the ground.
It’s about who controls how oil is priced, shipped, insured & paid for.
⚠️ History lesson most people missed:
Iraq didn’t become a “problem nation” because of oil…
It became a threat when it moved away from dollar settlement.
Fast-forward to today ⏩
China learned the lesson.
China doesn’t invade for oil.
China controls oil without owning it 👀
How?
🔹 Long-term supply deals
🔹 Oil-for-debt agreements
🔹 Shadow shipping routes
🔹 Non-USD settlement rails
📌 Iran → China
~1.4–1.6M barrels/day
Discounted. Off-book. Sanction-proof.
📌 Venezuela → China
~700K–900K barrels/day
Debt-backed. Pre-financed. Locked in.
This isn’t energy trading.
🔥 This is geopolitical leverage.
So what’s really happening now?
The U.S. isn’t “starting wars”
It’s breaking control chains ⛓️
🎯 Targeting:
• Shipping
• Insurance
• Ports
• Refiners
• Payment systems
That’s not military warfare.
💣 That’s financial warfare.
Because if you control:
✔️ Who ships
✔️ Who insures
✔️ Who settles payments
You don’t need to own the oil fields.
You own the system.
💡 Oil is the bloodstream.
💥 Currency & settlement control is the heart.
The rich don’t argue politics.
They study systems.
And when systems shift…
📈 Fortunes shift.
Stay ahead. Think bigger.
