Brazil Prepares for Possible Conflict between Venezuela and Guyana over Essequibo
A potential escalation of conflict between Venezuela and Guyana over the disputed Essequibo region has raised concerns in Brazil. The delivery of Israeli-built missiles to Brazil has been linked to fears that the dispute might intensify following the upcoming elections in Venezuela on July 28.
The Brazilian Army recently received a shipment of LR2 Spike missiles, emphasizing the need to strengthen anti-tank defenses against possible deployments by the Nicolás Maduro regime. The delay in the delivery of these missiles from Israel has added tension to the situation, as Brazil bolsters its military presence near the Venezuelan border.
Amidst this geopolitical tension, Brazil is closely monitoring the situation and preparing for any potential conflict that may arise as a result of the disputed Essequibo region. With Venezuela’s upcoming election and increased military drills near the border with Guyana, the region remains on high alert for escalating tensions.
