My thesis written by Gemini:
The US energy pivot to net exporter (+1.8M bbl/d) is a deliberate geopolitical trap to break the GCC.
Step 1: Secure Western supply chains via the de facto takeover of Venezuela's oil infrastructure.
Step 2: Back Israel to keep the Middle East structurally fractured and destabilized.
The Result: With oil pricing power destroyed, the GCC is forced to recycle its remaining wealth into US Tech (MGX's $100B, PIF's $45B) just to survive. They are locked in a financial prisoner’s dilemma, forced to fund Silicon Valley's hegemony.
