This scene from this series with John Krasinski has been the talk of the town over the past two days since the attacks in Venezuela and the capture of its president. And for good reason, it shows the reasons why Venezuela is a highly strategic territory for the United States. This scene, although broadcast in 2019, is reminiscent of the events of this month of January.
As Jack Ryan‘s character explains in the series, Venezuela is “the greatest threat on the international scene, ahead of Russia, China and North Korea. One of the reasons, again depending on the character, seems to be oil and the fact that 18% of oil resources are in Venezuela. A fact that was directly discussed in Donald Trump‘s speech after the attack. Indeed, the president said he wanted to ask American oil companies to go to Venezuela and seize and sell the oil.
