💥🇺🇸🇻🇪 The #AI War Is Here: Why the U.S. Struck #Venezuela Tonight’s dramatic military action in Venezuela—the bombing of key sites in #Caracas and the capture of Nicolás #Maduro—is being framed in real-time as a "restoration of democracy." But the deeper, unspoken driver is the new Great Game: the AI #energy war. The #2025 U.S. National Security Strategy explicitly links energy abundance with AI supremacy. Training next-gen AI models requires energy on the scale of small countries. Whoever controls abundant, scalable energy controls the pace of AI advancement. Here’s the strategic calculus: 1. Denial of Resource: Venezuela holds the world’s largest proven #oil reserves. It also has massive natural #gas reserves and significant hydroelectric power potential. Both #Russia and #China have invested considerably in Venezuela’s energy sector. Taking out Maduro would allow the #US to monopolize these resources for itself, while denying them to its rivals. 2. Securing #Guyana ’s Future: With Maduro removed, Venezuela’s territorial claim over Guyana’s vast new oil fields is likely to fade away. This not only protects ExxonMobil/Chevron assets but ensures another massive, friendly- #energy zone is locked into the U.S.-aligned sphere. Stability here is critical for long-term energy planning.
