The international analyst, Alejandro Laurengarayspoke to Canal E and referred to the new strategy of the United States towards Venezuela, the role of China in the region and the return of imperial logic in Latin America.
Regarding the historical roots of this type of American intervention, Alejandro Laurnagaray argued that we must return to the origins of North American expansionism: “We must go back to the first half of the 19th century. At that time there was the Monroe Doctrine of intervention in the Western Hemisphere“.
US intervention over time
Since then, as it evolved, the United States “has always been in some way intervening“in Latin American countries, whether through political pressure, economic interference or Cold War coups. He even recalled that the United States initially supported dictatorships that it later abandoned when they no longer served its interests.”
For Laurnagaray, the Venezuelan case is part of a structural process: “Since Venezuela confirmed that it had the world’s first oil reserves, was always in the crosshairs of the United States“. The analysis is related to the change of the global board: “This is an expression of the new national security strategy of the United States “He comes to kick the board.”
The American target in the attack on Venezuela
One of the key points was the Chinese presence in the region. In this context, he explained that the attack on Venezuela was for the United States a blow against a strategic ally of China: “Of course, regarding China and with every actor This had a big impact on Latin America“.
The interviewee explained that the United States already sees China as a power couple: “The United States in the new security strategy already sees China as an equal“And he explained in detail the American goal:”Drive out to foreign companies and support North American companies with government investments They can keep the resources of Latin America“.
He then explained that the geopolitical plan is that “the United States will dominate Latin America.” by hook or by crookIn this sense, he justified it with the North American logic of power competition: “The United States will use the region to become stronger again“.
