Conflict is expensive. But exploitation is profitable.
Not everyone wants peace.
Some people don’t pick a side —
they wait for the chaos and sell to both.
That’s happening right now between the USA and Venezuela — and it’s not just politics. It’s leverage.
The U.S. has escalated pressure on Venezuela’s government over oil, sanctions, and security issues, leading to military operations and strategic moves that benefit actors who profit from instability and division. 
This isn’t just government drama.
This pattern shows up in:
→ Business
→ Startups
→ Leadership teams
Here’s how the dynamic plays out in real life:
Two departments clash
↳ A third stays neutral until they can harvest influence.
Founders fall out
↳ Investors swoop in with “rescue deals.”
Competitor collapses
↳ Others raise prices and gain market share.
A leader steps down
↳ The “helper” pushes their own agenda under the guise of support.
These people aren’t villains —
they’re opportunists, and that’s different.
Here’s how you keep your values intact when conflict hits:
✅ Don’t mistake silence for neutrality
✅ Don’t profit from pain you helped create
✅ Help without a hidden invoice
✅ Support openly, not strategically
✅ Know when to step in — and when to step away
Real strength isn’t how loud you fight;
it’s how well you stay aligned with your principles while others chase profit from chaos.
