It may be happening again. In 2019, the United States backed an opposition leader seeking to unseat Venezuela's Nicolas Maduro. Russia opposed the push, providing diplomatic assistance and a modicum of military support for a government that may be Moscow's most important partner in Latin America. Maduro survived the crisis when Juan Guaido's call for a military uprising failed and his bid for power fizzled -- a big relief for Russia and a blow to the United States, which considers Maduro illegitimate. Serving his first term at the time, US President…

The U.S. shale oil and gas boom that began early this century had enormous geopolitical implications. Without it, the U.S. would have become increasingly dependent upon imports to meet energy needs, and prices would have undoubtedly been higher. In fact, in the years leading up to the shale revolution, natural gas prices spiked, and oil prices rose above $100 a barrel. But the ensuing surge of oil and natural gas production in the U.S. would subsequently turn the U.S. into the world’s largest oil and gas producer. This weakened OPEC’s…

The U.S. benchmark crude futures were trading down by 1.44% at $60.17.    The…
