After Iraq it is Venezuela - the next oil confrontation between America and Euro Zone and this time a new super power coalition of India, China, Russia and Brazil makes the difference

After Iraq it is oil rich Venezuela led by Hugo Chavez that has become the center for confrontation between America and the Euro Zone. Chavez is dead against America and Euro Zone needs him to keep the oil balance - the power symbol in 2005. But this time the equation is a little different. A new regional and super power coalition of India, China, Russia and Brazil is making a huge difference. Russian President is in the zone to pull Brazil in the coalition and influence on Chavez for mutual support.
While the whole world is focused on America and the Euro zone for the super power challenges, both these powers are looking small when you combine the powers of the new coalition Putin is building with India, China, Russia and Brazil. Add to that Venezuelan oil that supplies America a substantial crude oil, and now you have the actual scenario of confrontation.
Venezuelan President Hugo Chavez is leveraging his country's oil resources to build new geopolitical relationships with key regional powers like Russia, China, India and Brazil.
Northern Andean region is where the new super power coalition is planning to influence most. It is in the corridor of America and rich with many natural resources. This is the region that America takes it for granted.
For Russian, Chinese and other non-US. oil companies, the Chavez government's oil-based foreign policy also will translate into profitable investment opportunities in Venezuela in coming years.
Brazil, a member of the superpower coalition is a neighbor of Venezuela, And though Brazil has special relations with America, it has far more interest in Venezuela than any other countries.
According to think tanks, it is not Iran but Venezuela will be the next epicenter of confrontation for oil supremacy. But this time both Euro zone and America will face a real formidable super power coalition - the combined resources of India, China, Russia and Brazil.

A direct attack would be a last resort. The US will most likely use the same time tested senerio that was so successful in the past in ousting Daniel Ortega of Nicaragua and Salvador Allende of Chile. With Bush's neocons in full control right now, this would be no problem at all.bbking said:
Can even see them using this old quote again:
"I don't see why we need to stand by and watch a country go communist due to the irresponsibility of its people."
Henry Kissinger
Fidel will have to wait and he is lucky Cuba has no large oil reserves or he would be toast.
No, he's an Old Liberal, the old supplies some reponsibility but the liberal supplies the wrong instincts ;-)

LOL, a fine list of debtor nations - I really enjoy this "Alliance" approach to counter America, especially from nations that can't manage their own affairs. Brazil for instance ows 28b to the IMF, 9B to the world bank and 13B to the IAD fund. Keep it up though, Santa brought me a brand new tim-foil-hat for Christmas.

LOL, just what every liberal needs, a trust fund and a taser to keep those masses you care so much about at bay...bbking said:
