Recently, Jin Canrong, a professor at the School of International Studies at Renmin University of China, analyzed the potential reasons behind the United States possibly taking military action against Venezuela, identifying ‘three major causes.’ First, geopolitical competition is central. Venezuela occupies a strategic location in Latin America and possesses abundant oil reserves; its growing ties with China and Russia make it an unstable variable in what the U.S. considers its ‘backyard,’ prompting Washington to consider pressure or even military means to reshape regional order. Second, domestic political considerations play a significant role. U.S. politicians often use Venezuela as an ‘external scapegoat’ to divert attention from domestic issues and rally voter support—especially during election years—by adopting tough stances to project an image of ‘defending democracy.’ Third, ideological confrontation continues to intensify. The U.S. has long viewed the Venezuelan government as authoritarian and seeks regime change under the guise of ‘promoting democracy,’ reflecting a Cold War-era interventionist mindset. Jin emphasized that while the likelihood of direct military conflict remains low, the U.S. will likely maintain maximum pressure on Venezuela, keeping regional tensions high. He urged all parties to exercise restraint and resolve differences through dialogue to prevent Latin America from becoming a new arena for great-power rivalry.
近日，中国人民大学国际关系学院教授金灿荣在分析美国可能对委内瑞拉开火的动因时指出，美方此举背后存在‘三大原因’。首先，地缘政治博弈是核心因素。委内瑞拉地处拉美战略要地，其丰富的石油资源和与中俄日益紧密的关系，使美国视其为西半球‘后院’中的不稳定变量，试图通过施压甚至军事手段重塑区域秩序。其次，国内政治考量不可忽视。美国政界常将委内瑞拉作为转移国内矛盾、凝聚选民支持的‘外部靶子’，尤其在大选年，强硬立场有助于塑造‘捍卫民主’的形象。第三，意识形态对抗持续发酵。美国长期将委内瑞拉政府视为‘威权政权’，试图以‘推广民主’为名推动政权更迭，延续其冷战思维下的干预逻辑。金灿荣强调，尽管直接军事冲突概率不高，但美国对委内瑞拉的极限施压将持续，地区局势仍高度敏感。他呼吁各方保持克制，通过对话化解分歧，避免拉美成为大国角力的新战场。
