According to CCTV News, on September 18, the Venezuela prosecutor's office issued an arrest warrant for "serious theft", "legalization of capital", "illegal deprivation of liberty", "fabrication of facts" and "illegal interference" to open a case against Argentina President Milley and other officials for investigation.
It is worth mentioning that not long ago, Venezuela security forces surrounded the Argentina embassy in Venezuela, and did not give Brazil any face, revoking the other party's escrow rights.
The reason why Venezuela is suddenly so tough on Argentina is naturally not for no reason, and when it comes to the key factors that caused the contradictions between the two countries, it is necessary to turn back the time to more than a month ago.
At the end of July this year, Venezuelan President Nicolas Maduro won the election again, and seeing that this anti-American fighter would continue to be in charge of Venezuela, the United States immediately broke its defense, and united many countries refused to recognize the election results of Venezuela, Argentina was one of them.
Venezuela issued an arrest warrant for Millet
At that time, the United States wanted to repeat its old tricks and support the opposition in Venezuela to come to power, so as to stir up internal contradictions in the country and force Maduro to abdicate. As a result, Maduro fought back decisively, ordering the arrest of opposition leaders, some seeking refuge from the Argentina embassy, before the aforementioned siege occurred.
As for Venezuela's order to arrest Milley this time, the culprit is still United States. Just as Maduro was arresting the opposition, the United States also took action and seized Maduro's presidential plane on the grounds of unilateral sanctions.
This undoubtedly evokes memories of Maduro, who in June 2022, Argentina also seized and destroyed a special plane in order to cater to the United States's position.
You know, the leader of a country enjoys immunity in the international community, and United States and Argentina seem to be just seizing special planes, but the actual intention is to deny Maduro's status.
United States seized Maduro's plane
For United States, Maduro does not have any effective countermeasures except for sticking to his position, and he tears his face with United States, and Venezuela does not have this ability, so he can only "knock on the mountain and shake the tiger" and target the followers of the United States first.
In addition, Maduro may also use Argentina to vent his anger and send warning signals to United States.
A few days ago, one United States military officer and two United States citizens were arrested in Venezuela, and then Venezuela's Minister of the Interior and Justice Cabello said that United States intelligence agencies were involved in arms trafficking and colluded with opposition forces to assassinate Maduro and destabilize Venezuela.
Although the United States State Department has flatly denied that it has not participated in the activities to overthrow the Venezuela government, in the mind of the Maduro government, I am afraid that it has already determined that the coup d'état of the United States has been carried out, and if the Venezuelan side does not react, United States followers will find it easy to bully.
"Anti-American fighter" Maduro
As for why United States keeps its eyes on Venezuela, the answer is simple, because the country has the largest oil reserves in the world and is located right on United States's doorstep.
The United States has been trying to control the country's political situation, using unilateral sanctions to coerce it into submission, resulting in the country sitting on a mountain of gold becoming impoverished.
It can be said that Venezuela's experience profoundly illustrates what it means to be "too far from heaven and too close to United States." However, the choice of the Venezuelan people, as well as the resistance of the Maduro government, show the country's determination to bow to the hegemony of power.
At the same time, Milley's situation has also reminded countries around the world that following United States' misdeeds and wantonly interfering in the politics of other countries will only make a mess of their own diplomatic situation.
