US In DISBELIEF: What Russia And Venezuela Just Did, Changes The Oil Industry Forever After This


There’s a rule in geopolitics: if you want to collapse a nation, you cut off its money. And in late 2025, the United States decided to test that rule to its absolute limit. The target was Russia. The weapon was oil. With one signature, the US Treasury Department effectively locked the doors to the global financial system for Russia’s two oil titans: Rosneft and Lukoil. This wasn't a warning shot. This was a direct hit designed to sever the arteries of the Russian state, which relies on oil for a huge part of its income.

The world held its breath. The official deadline was set for November 21st. And the reaction was instant and brutal. In boardrooms from Beijing to Mumbai, risk managers saw the red flags. Chinese state-owned giants and nimble private refiners, alongside India’s major oil companies, all did the same thing: they froze. Orders were put on hold. Contracts were suddenly under review. The result? A traffic jam of tankers on the high seas and the value of Russia’s primary oil crashing down. It was a perfect, devastating economic storm. The trap had been sprung. But what the planners in Washington didn't account for was that their targets weren't just waiting inside the cage. They were already digging a tunnel out.
