A combo of the big OPEC countries + USA + the venezuelan national bourgeoisie
i mean, maybe maduro and the venezuelan government aren't the best economists out there, but american intromission and black propaganda fux any economy
Anyone that says they should have diversified their economy is just being unrealistic. You have the resources you have and even if you start to diversify that's the resource you have to use to begin with and that gets sanctioned and now you are stuck in a loop.
At least Venezuela uses it's own resources, unlike America who makes bank off other people's shit.
