« on: January 23, 2024, 07:33:46 AM »Absolutely agree !You will not have the luxury of choice. Countries like Venezuela did not have enough reserves of a resource like oil to be stable, and countries that were dependent on a source like Chile are now outside the competitive market. And sometimes because of your materials, you bring yourself destruction, as happens in some mines in Africa. Therefore, the rule is not Fixed, even if you have resources and want to use them well, you may not be able to do so.
Nowadays, if you own critical resources, it has become "fashionable" to manipulate the market. One good thing - there is no monopolization and there are adequate alternative suppliers, which, for example, demonstratively solved the problem of gas supplies to the EU after 2022.
I believe that the conflicts of 2030 will be as simple as the conflict over fertile land or water.
Sorry, but I have to correct you regarding the oil information:
The share of the largest 10 countries in the world's
of oil reserves at the end of 2019 (OPEC estimate)
19.6% Venezuela
16.7% Saudi Arabia
13.5% Iran
9.4% Iraq
6.6% Kuwait
6.3% UAE
5.2% Russia
3.4% USA
3.1% Libya
2.4% Nigeria
14.0% Other countries
Venezuela has more than enough oil reserves to provide a great life for the citizens of this beautiful country. But. The ruler of this country does not have enough brains, conscience, and reason to use it for the good of the country and the population
