In addition to the Russia-Ukraine conflict in Europe and the Israeli-Palestinian conflict in the Middle East, tensions between Venezuela and Guyana in South America have also caused concern around the world.
According to a report by Greece's famous ** on November 30, Venezuela is hatching plans to invade Guyana, targeting the disputed territory of Essequibo. This is a strategic trend that has attracted much attention for the international community, especially for China as a world power.
The population gap between Venezuela and Guyana, two small countries in Latin America, is stark, with a total population of only 800,000 compared to 30 million in Venezuela. In the face of this disparity, it is clear that Guyana is weak in terms of military strength, especially in the face of territorial competition, and its ability to defend itself has been questioned. However, in the face of the threat from Venezuela, Guyana has chosen to cling to the United States, conducting several joint Xi exercises with the U.S. military and preparing to build a military base in the Essequibo region to strengthen its own defense capabilities.
The incident has sparked speculation about whether the United States and American powers such as Brazil will step in. Venezuela is vying for the Essequibo region mainly because of the rich mineral resources of this land. Venezuela plans to organize 350,000 military personnel and 120,000 police to wage war against Guyana in an attempt to seize the strategic area. In the process, if the two countries do clash, the United States and Brazil will inevitably participate in supporting Guyana against Venezuelan aggression.
However, this potential conflict takes place in Latin America, which is different from the wars in the Middle East, eastern Ukraine. Latin America is considered the "backyard" of the United States, and the United States has huge interests in the region. Therefore, if Venezuela were to go to war with Guyana, it would inevitably trigger the concern and intervention of the United States. For the United States, it is crucial to protect its geopolitical advantage in the region, because it is related to the United States' voice and influence in international affairs.
However, the United States and Brazil have better options for resolving this potential conflict. It would be more sensible to persuade Venezuela and Guyana to find a peaceful solution to their dispute than to take sides. This will not only help maintain peace and stability in South America, but also contribute to the process of economic development and globalization on a global scale. As important regional powers, the United States and Brazil should act as mediators to push the parties concerned to resolve disputes through dialogue and negotiation, rather than directly intervening to avoid further escalation of the conflict.
However, the attitude towards Maduro in Venezuela remains a variable. Maduro has always shown a tough stance and seems undaunted by civil war. Despite pressure from the U.S. and Brazilian forces, he made fiery rhetoric claiming that no one could defeat Venezuela. This adds uncertainty to the development of the situation.
