US Venezuela Oil Control 2026: 100 Reported Dead in Military Strike
US forces have reportedly killed at least 100 people in Venezuela following a declaration of indefinite control over the country's oil reserves. Geopolitical tensions hit a new high in 2026.
The geopolitical landscape has shifted violently. Venezuela's government reports that at least 100 people were killed in a recent US attack. This escalation follows a stunning declaration from Washington: the United States plans to control Venezuelan oil reserves indefinitely.
US Venezuela Oil Control and Military Escalation
According to Al Jazeera, the US justification for the move centers on global energy security. However, the human cost is already mounting. Witnesses in the region describe harrowing scenes following the strikes, while the Venezuelan minister has condemned the act as a blatant violation of international law. The Trump administration's approach signals a move toward direct resource management rather than traditional diplomacy.
We will control Venezuelan oil indefinitely. It's a necessary step to stabilize global markets and ensure our national interests are protected.
Global Instability and Domestic Unrest
This isn't an isolated incident of violence. In Sudan, survivors are coming forward with accounts of widespread sexual assault. In Syria, civilians are fleeing Aleppo as fighting between the SDF and the military intensifies. Back in the US, protests have erupted in Minneapolis after ICE agents were filmed killing a US citizen, raising questions about domestic law enforcement's aggressive tactics.
