🔥 Key Takeaways
Media Myth Bust: Venezuela supplies 4% of China's oil; plenty of alternatives amid global slowdown. No Taiwan invasion fuel crisis.
China Wins Long Game: US actions prove "irresponsible hegemon," validating Beijing's warnings.

Trump Distractions: Epstein files, health premiums, base fractures—piling outrages hide domestic failures.
Oil Economics 101: US exports sweet crude but refines 60% heavy/sour (Venezuela fits); Canada investments ($0.5T) at risk, no quick fix.
Danger Zone: Unilateral grabs echo Kissinger-era ops; Latin memory runs deep (Chile's Pinochet, etc.). Escalation to kinetic conflict?
No Plan: $100B rebuild needed for Venezuela oil; Trump lacks post-seizure vision.

💡 Deeper Dive
China's $60B Venezuela loans (infrastructure/oil)—still owed ~$10B.
US bases: 400+ encircling China/Asia.
Refinery mismatch: Sweet (light) vs. Sour/Heavy (sulfur-heavy processing).
Historical scars: 56-66 US-backed regime changes in Latin America post-WWII.
