   Maduro, and Chavismo, are an episode, but the deep reasons for American interventionism have little to do with anything Hugo Chavez or Maduro did. It has to do with the Monroe Doctrine (and its revisions, including Trump's) and the needs of Imperialism. The USA can't have the international projection it has if their "back yard" is not "secured" first. That's why Latin American political thinkers, including conservative ones, have always signaled the US as a curse.

     The USA's political and military doctrine has been, for over a century, that they get to control the "Western Hemisphere" (ie, the American Continent, including Latin America). This was justified on two ground, on one hand, that the resources of the continent were for the US to use ("America for the Americans"), and the second one that the influence of European powers was to remain in their side of the Atlantic.

     Zé Andarilho repeated this.
