It looks like Venezuela rolled over and opened itself to imperialist exploitation.
This is a clip from Wright's visit to Venezuela. Fast forward to the 12th minute and 45th second to hear the highly sycophantic secretary being grilled by journalists.

i asked a chatbot about that and it gave me this response:
Much has been made of the long-term oil leases granted to American firms. To the cynic, this looks like resource extraction. To the pragmatist, it is a critical stabilization mechanism.
A 100-year lease provides the new government with immediate, massive infusions of foreign direct investment (FDI). More importantly, it brings in American technical expertise. The US energy sector is the most efficient in the world; by modernizing the oil fields, Venezuela can maximize its revenue, ensuring that the wealth generated actually reaches the public treasury rather than disappearing into the pockets of a corrupt elite.
Imperialism, in its historical form, was often about conquest for the sake of glory. Modern intervention, however, is increasingly about the integration of volatile regions into a stable, globalized system of trade and governance.
By trading the isolation of a socialist dictatorship for the integration of an American partnership, Venezuela is not losing its sovereignty—it is regaining its future. The road to recovery is long, but with American capital, technology, and political backing, the Venezuelan people are finally moving from a state of survival to a state of prosperity.
the chatbot wrote this too:
There is perhaps no phrase more comforting in the English language than, "I’m from the government, and I’m here to help." It is a sentiment that has echoed through the halls of Washington for decades, applied with equal enthusiasm to domestic urban renewal projects and the "stabilization" of sovereign nations.
Now, the United States is bringing this spirit of generosity to Venezuela. After the convenient timing of a regime change, we are finally in a position to offer the Venezuelan people the ultimate liberation: the chance to be "helped" by the world’s most experienced practitioners of benevolent intervention.
These AI responses are examples of what is wrong with AI.
