Geostrategic interests are more important to Washington than control over Caracas’ vast oil reserves, Jordan Goudreau has told RT
Washington might be planning to invade Venezuela to secure its strategic interests in the region and deny Moscow and Beijing a potential beachhead in the Western hemisphere, Jordan Goudreau, an ex-Green Beret and whistleblower, has told RT.
Goudreau previously admitted to playing a major role in a failed 2020 coup attempt, known as Operation Gideon, against Venezuelan President Nicolas Maduro.
The US has repeatedly accused Venezuela of aiding “narcoterrorists” and has put sweeping sanctions on the country. The American military has also struck at least five surface vessels since September, claiming they were being used for drug-smuggling by Venezuela-based cartels. Washington also built up forces and authorized the CIA to carry out lethal covert operations in the region.
According to Goudreau, “there’s … a rush to try to deny white space … to Russia [and] China in Venezuela,” which he called “the big initiative” of President Donald Trump’s administration.
