Venezuela Crisis: Borders, Oil, & the US | Divided by Lines

Venezuela is at the center of a geopolitical storm, a nation defined by its strategic geography, oil wealth, and porous borders — yet weakened by economic collapse, internal instability, and increasing U.S. pressure. From its Caribbean coast to the dense jungles along Colombia and Brazil, Venezuela’s borders have shaped its politics, economy, and crisis, making it one of the most urgent flashpoints in the Americas today. In this video, we explore how Venezuela’s history, geography, and resource wealth created both opportunity and vulnerability, why the U.S. and other global powers are watching closely, and what this means for the millions of people living inside the country and those forced to flee. Key Topics Covered: 1. Venezuela’s inherited borders and frontier challenges 2. Oil wealth and the rise of a petro-state 3. Porous borders with Colombia, Brazil, and Guyana fueling smuggling, armed groups, and migration 3. The shadow economy and unregulated mining in the Amazon 4. U.S. sanctions, military pressure, and economic isolation 5. Geopolitical involvement of China, Russia, and regional neighbors 6. Humanitarian crisis: 7.7 million displaced and the regional impact 7. Why Venezuela’s crisis cannot be separated from its geography Why This Matters: Venezuela’s story is not just about politics or ideology. It is a clear example of how geography, natural resources, and border history shape state capacity and vulnerability. The current crisis is a combination of internal mismanagement, external pressure, and structural inequalities — a reminder that the lines drawn on a map can have real-world consequences for millions of people.
