I doubt there are secret US military bases there (I'll be shocked if its true). Maduro is after the massive oil reserves of the coast of the Essequibo region. It's said that those oil reserves would make Guyana the Saudi Arabia of South America.
The Essequibo region is also very remote (mostly jungle). Perfect place for a secret military base but given the context of the oil reserves in the region, Venezuela is looking for any excuse to take over that region. The claim of secret US military bases in Essequibo is the equivalent of WMDs in Iraq.
Don't be surprised if conflict breaks out. I just hope Trump is in office when the conflict breaks out. I would love to make a deal with Guyana for access to those oil reserves in return for military aid/defense.

I am thinking more of You Know the Agency.
