Are we close to an open conflict between the United States and Venezuela?

A direct military escalation between the United States and Venezuela would represent one of the most serious geopolitical crises in the Western Hemisphere in recent decades.

In this hypothetical scenario, attacks would focus on military bases, air infrastructure, and key logistical points near Caracas, causing major disruptions to the functioning of the state. The capital and surrounding states such as Miranda, Aragua, and La Guaira would be directly affected by explosions and intensive air movements, while the civilian population would face fear, chaos, and a lack of clear information.

Such an action would come after a prolonged period of political tensions, economic sanctions, and harsh rhetoric between Washington and Caracas. In this scenario, the U.S. administration would justify the intervention as an effort to exert maximum pressure on Nicolás Maduro’s government, while the Venezuelan side would characterize it as a blatant violation of national sovereignty.

The Venezuelan government’s response would be immediate: national mobilization, calls for resistance, and accusations against the U.S. for pursuing economic interests, particularly regarding the country’s vast oil reserves. President Maduro, in such a situation, would seek to strengthen internal support and international alliances, presenting the conflict as a fight for national independence and dignity.

Such an escalation would have wide-ranging consequences for Latin America, increasing the risk of regional destabilization, new waves of migration, and the involvement of other global actors. The international community, including the UN and major powers, would face enormous pressure to mediate and prevent a broader conflict.

This scenario illustrates how fragile the geopolitical balance can be and how severe the consequences may be when diplomatic clashes escalate into open military confrontation.
