US Move Against Maduro: "A New Cold War Over Oil, Not Democracy"

An expert analysis argues the recent U.S.-backed action against Venezuelan leader Nicolás Maduro is driven by strategic interests, not democratic ideals. Brazilian author and correspondent Jamil Chade provides this perspective. He states the effort has little connection to human rights or democracy. Instead, he links it to U.S. strategic goals in Latin America and Venezuela's large natural resources, like oil. His view challenges mainstream explanations. The analysis suggests this represents a return to the intense U.S. interventionism common during the Cold War decades in the region.
