Last week, America had a rather magical scene: in the Middle East, the halted war with Iran escalated again after weeks of relative calm; at about the same time, in Latin America, the US reached an oil agreement with Venezuela, gaining “majority control” over 65 billion barrels of Venezuela's proven oil reserves. Regarding the war in Iran, analysts say that the US government seems to have fallen into a conflict that cannot be controlled or escaped; with regard to the oil agreement with Venezuela, the US think tank believes that all aspects of the agreement conceal hidden dangers. In the eyes of the outside world, behind this uncertainty surrounding “war” and “peace,” it points to the midterm elections two months from now.
