    Absolutely. It also creates a larger dependency on big oil as they make out that they are the only ones that can refine that oil.

    It wasn’t long after Chavez kicked big oil out of Venezuela that the Saudi’s started pumping more oil dropping the oil price massively. The US then said that Venezuela couldn’t process their own oil and thats what caused their economic problems when that’s not what happened at all.
