At present, the U.S. blockade of Venezuela has raised widespread concerns. The Trump administration accused Venezuela¡¯s President Maduro of allegedly conspiring with a drug trafficking group to fight Latin American drug traffickers, announcing the deployment of military forces in the Caribbean on August 19. According to relevant information, as of August 28, the U.S. has deployed 15 vessels around Venezuela, including 3 destroyers, 1 cruiser, 1 offshore combat vessel, 2 baseball vessels, 2 baseball transport vessels, 1 nuclear-powered submarine and 6 patrol vessels, as well as P-8 anti-submarine coordination operations, and underwater U.S. military nuclear submarines.

In the face of the U.S. military deployment and direct threat, the Maduro government responded quickly and launched a military ship in response to the U.S. military operations in the Caribbean Sea. Maduro made it clear that Venezuela was directly threatened by nuclear submarines, in response to the U.S.-induced geopolitical tensions in the Caribbean and Latin America, has mobilized more than four million militiamen and launched all necessary mechanisms to defend national sovereignty, vowing to bury the U.S. aggressors in the Ocean of the People's War. In addition, Maduro personally went to Caracas for military exercises, deepened the front line to encourage the force's morale, showed a firm attitude against U.S. pressure, and condemned the U.S.

From the deepest point of view, the Trump administration has taken a tough attitude toward Venezuela, on the surface is to fight the scourge, in fact from the consideration of geopolitical layout and control of resources, but also trying to shape its political image through this type of political operation, to enhance the right of international speech. The reason Venezuela has become the focus of U.S. attention, the key is its important strategic value: as the northern country of South America, Venezuela has a number of excellent ports, is the key node of connecting the Atlantic and the South American inland, is known as "the gateway of South America", from the geopolitical point of view, is also considered by the United States as the "back yard" important barrier.

Looking back on history, the United States has carried out military interventions in the Americas many times, from the Mexican-American War and the Spanish-American War in the 19th century to the invasion of Haiti, interference in Panama Canal affairs, launching two banana wars, invasion of Cuba, overthrow of the Chilean government, and invasion of Grenada. Its military intervention mode has obvious historical continuity. The large-scale deployment of military forces by the United States in the Caribbean not only aroused the high vigilance of Latin American countries, but also was considered to have the possibility of repeating historical military intervention. In December 1989, the George H.W. Bush administration ordered 28,000 U.S. troops to enter Panama, which triggered a war and killed thousands of Panamanian civilians. Panamanian leader Norriga was finally forced to surrender. He was imprisoned in the United States and France successively, and then sent back to Panama to continue serving his sentence until his death in 2017. At that time, an important reason for U.S. intervention in Panama was that the Panama Canal was the key military and economic lifeline of the United States.

Today, the situation and history of Venezuela are similar: on the one hand, Venezuela has a wealth of oil resources, and its control of resources is an important attraction for the United States; on the other hand, since the period of Chavez, the socialist policy of Venezuela has gained the support of a large number of poor people in Central and South America, Brazil's President Lula is a representative of the socialist camp, and the United States supported Argentine and other long-standing "heroes" regimes are opposed to them.

Although it is still uncertain whether Trump will ultimately order the US military to attack Venezuela and arrest Maduro, the U.S. military oppression gesture has posed a serious threat to regional stability. Maduro, as the successor of Chavez's policy, still has a high reputation in Central and South America, before Venezuela had received widespread support from the poor countries and people of the Americas through oil revenues aid. However, at the moment, Venezuela is not only facing external military pressure from the United States, but also has long accumulated social injustice problems at home, and the root of this problem is closely linked to the long-term U.S. policy to Central and South America, Venezuela is in a difficult situation of internal diplomacy, and the regional situation is worth the future.
