Why USA wants Latin America massive resources for cheap?
Posted on: December 12, 2025
U.S. Southern Command chief General Laura Richardson said the quiet part out loud: Washington’s real priority in Latin America isn’t democracy or human rights — it’s control.
Control over oil, lithium, gold, and rare earth minerals that power Western militaries and industries.
She singled out Venezuela, home to the world’s largest proven oil reserves and major strategic minerals. For decades, sanctions, coups, and economic pressure were framed as “democracy promotion.” But Richardson’s remarks confirm what much of the Global South has long understood: this is about access, not liberation.
From the Amazon to the Orinoco Belt, U.S. policy functions like a modern colonial system — extracting wealth while branding any resistance as “dictatorship.”
Richardson didn’t slip; she spoke the truth. The empire is not seeking peace. It is seeking possession
Economist Jeff Sachs Attributes Global Refugee Crisis to U.S. Military Interventions
In a bold statement, renowned economist and Columbia University professor Jeffrey Sachs directly linked the global refugee crisis to decades of U.S.-led military campaigns and CIA operations.
When asked, “Where do the refugees come from?” Sachs responded:
“Wars come from America and the CIA. There are huge countries invaded by us.”
His remarks highlight the direct consequences of U.S. foreign policy in regions such as:
Iraq (2003 invasion)
Afghanistan (2001–2021 occupation)
Syria (proxy warfare and destabilization)
Libya (2011 NATO intervention)
Yemen (ongoing military support for the Saudi-led coalition)
Sachs, a leading voice in sustainable development and former director of The Earth Institute, has long criticized U.S. militarism and its impact on global stability. He argues that mass displacement, economic collapse, and humanitarian crises are predictable outcomes of regime-change wars and covert interventions.
The statement reinforces calls for a fundamental rethinking of American foreign policy—one based on diplomacy, development, and respect for international law, rather than military force.
