BRICS under siege: US sanctions, Venezuela, Cuba, India and Iran reveal how Washington’s energy control strategy, oil blockade tactics and geopolitical pressure threaten sovereignty and the emerging multipolar order.
In this Think BRICS interview, geopolitical analyst Miguel Santos Garcia (GatoPress) explains how US sanctions, energy control, and oil blockades are shaping the geopolitical struggle between Washington and the BRICS-aligned multipolar order. The discussion explores how Venezuela, Cuba, Iran, and India are facing growing pressure as the United States attempts to influence global energy flows and weaken sovereign decision-making across Latin America and Asia.
The conversation begins with Venezuela, examining how control over the country’s vast heavy oil reserves affects its relationship with BRICS and global energy markets. Miguel Santos Garcia discusses how sanctions, oversight of oil revenues, and foreign pressure could limit Caracas’ sovereignty and its role within the emerging multipolar system.
The interview then shifts to Iran, highlighting how its lighter crude oil plays a strategic role in refining Venezuelan heavy oil. The discussion frames the broader geopolitical stakes surrounding energy supply chains and how control of producers and buyers—especially China and India—fits into a larger strategy of global energy control.
A major segment analyzes Cuba’s energy crisis and oil blockade, examining the long-standing impact of US sanctions and the island’s complex relationship with Russian modernization and Chinese modernization proposals. Miguel Santos Garcia argues that Cuba’s hesitation to fully embrace these partnerships may have weakened its position during the current geopolitical confrontation.
Finally, the interview explores India’s sovereignty dilemma, as New Delhi navigates pressure from Washington while maintaining economic ties with Russia and participating in BRICS initiatives. The discussion highlights how sanctions, trade restrictions, and energy policy influence India’s strategic balancing between global powers.
Throughout the conversation, Think BRICS examines whether these pressures represent a coordinated attempt to slow the rise of a multipolar order and reshape global energy politics.
