The energy alliance between the US and Saudi Arabia is rewriting the global political landscape. Venezuela holds 18% of the world's oil reserves; what does it mean once these resources are integrated into the US system? To some extent, control over half of the global oil reserves is now in the hands of a few capitalists.

The struggle for energy pricing power is not just a commercial issue. It concerns oil price trends, the voice in international trade routes, and more importantly, the liquidity of the US dollar in the global financial system. Russia's economy is under pressure in this game, which is no coincidence, but a dual attack of "pricing power + economic sanctions."

On a broader scale, the energy flow chain runs through oil prices → trade → finance, with a single change potentially affecting the whole system. As US capital and technology gradually unlock these resources, the distribution of power in the global energy, financial, and trade systems will face a dramatic shift. Before 2026, whoever controls energy flows will hold the discourse power of this era.
