“… President Nicolás Maduro ramps up his threats to annex the country’s oil-rich neighbour …”
Oil-rich neighbor? Venezuela is already oil-rich.
When it comes to oil the US doesn’t mess around.
If Venezuela keeps fk’ing around they are going to find out.
I just looked up Venezuela’s operational air capabilities and it looks like about 4 F35’s could reduce that to 0 in about half an hour.
I thought I read that 80% of the oil leases in Guyana are owned by US & UK companies.
A US election year would be a foolish time for Venezuela to try this.
This aggression will not stand.
Temp the hand of god…
I’ll take “Stupidest shit I could do” for 1000… -Venezuela
Someone is pulling a Putin.
Must be all that freedom ~~oil~~ Guyana’s are asking for.
A few fuel air bombs ought to take care of them real good.
I feel like I’ve heard this story before. Is anyone feeling a sense of deja vu?
Notice it doesn’t say what they are building or how many troops.
Reality, we deployed a company of light infantry.
Click bait media “they forward deployed army units”
I wonder if a blunder, like an embarrassingly weak campaign against Guyana, will finally lead to a regime change for Venezuela. Certainly interesting events
Calling it now.
Venezuela: Invades Guyana.
USA: Blows up Venezuelan airforce.
Venezuala: “American Imperialism is hurting South America!”
Nothing a handy-dandy airstrike won’t solve
Venezuela is claiming parts of a sovereign nation is theirs and promoting imperialism.
Iran is arming its proxies who are targeting peaceful ships and civilians.
North Korea is saying it has the right to wipe out South Korea.
China is claiming they have the right to invade and conquer Taiwan.
Russia invaded Ukraine to conquer territory and increase its empire.
Tankies and the far right: Why is the US and NATO trying to start a war!!!!!
So Maduro’s doing the “my troops are merely passing by” phase of the civilization games, in real life.
The USA will get a surge of migrant if this goes down.
Jesus, I thought we resolved this
Venezuela… The country that has ABSOLUTELY nothing to lose… About to feel some major losses
Maduro is trying to pull a Malvinas stunt.
I mean, once they get thru the jungle it would be hard to smoke them out, but if the US or the UK intervenes they are going straight for Caracas.
Incoming “special operation” speech in 3…2….1….
I hope brazil fuck them up
Brazilian troops about get some high quality intel
Maduro starting a war would only worsen the current migratory crisis where more than 7.3 million people have left the country. Most of them ending up in other LATAM countries like Colombia and Peru
Lots of talk about what the US would do if Venezuela invades, but I think many forget Brazil essentially said they won’t allow an invasion of a neighboring country. I think Brazil might actually be willing to put boots on the ground to stop a Venezuelan assault, and I can’t imagine Venezuela leadership is actually dumb enough to believe they could capture territory. More likely this is just posturing, trying to scare another country into giving up more control without firing a single shot.
I hear nothing about preparations by US and others to stop this. Does anyone know more?
Wtf is wrong with this timeline?
Im worried if venezuela invades after all guyana is such a small country its only around the size of utah
It’s weird that all of the authoritarian countries in the world are trying really hard right now to be forcibly shown that their dicks are in fact much smaller than those in the West.
Venezuela: nice oil fields you have here.
Shame if anything happened to them
Shit like this is the cost of not helping Ukraine. The taboo against wars of territorial aggression goes away. We’re left with a world with more war, more suffering, more military spending, and less for everything else.
Can everyone just calm the fuck down!! Fuck!!!
Russia and China finally got someone over here to do some of their dirty work besides the GOP. South America really doesn’t want the US paying more attention to them but this is exactly how they get it. Trump’s ally is overplaying his hand. Most of these “hotspots” will be put out by July and leave Biden looking more competent, not frazzled.
They actually gonna try it
Something curious about this is that Venezuela is not only going to fuck with a foreign independent country, but with the interests of other countries that are investing in the country’s oil infrastructure. For example, Dominican Republic signed a pact recently to help build a refinery in Guayana, likely where Venezuela is aiming. It’s likely that other countries might be planning to sign treaties like this with Guyana too, and Venezuela threatening said investments would really land them in even hotter water.
