They already have the most oil in the world and they still can’t do anything with that
You get a war. And you get a war. Aaannnnd you get a war!!! EVERYBODY WILL GET THEIRS, BE PATIENT.
He’s using Putins playbook.
This is pure idiocy. They can’t afford a war.
He should first do something about the thousands of people fleeing his country and taking refuge in the US and Mexico
Is there even the slightest chance that this decision isn’t already pre-decided and the referendum is just for show?
The ultimate Chinese curse come to life…
*May you live in interesting times.*
authoritarian dictatorships love this one simple trick!
Christ, all we need is another war at this point
I remember when Internet leftists (mainly the same type caping for Putin and Hamas now) told me that Venezuela was a downtrodden socialist nation being bullied by an imperialist USA that wanted its resources, and now Venezuela is going to invade a neighbor for oil.
The US should sponsor and support Colombia’s rightful acquisition of Maracaibo.
Put it to a vote boys!
A vote on starting a military invasion? I’ve seen everything now.
I think Maduro should prioritize Empanada rich areas first.
Remember, Venezuela is an anti-imperialist utopia that only suffers because of the CIA, or something

Interesting that china just upgraded their status in September 2023 with Venezuela as “all weather partners” and all of a sudden Venezuela wants to invade a country🤔
I am no geopolitical mastermind but this seems ill advised
I’m sure this vote will be completely honest and totally not fixed.
So let me see if I got this right. Venezuela was not good enough to fight for, so millions of citizens have fled and are fleeing. Yet , now Venezuela is good enough to fight ? Where are the fighters coming from ? Iran , Russia , Cuba ? I bet India gets their hands on that oil somehow. They are a sneaky lot and love a good deal.

Venezuelan here.
This isn’t an invasion threat. This whole referendum being a sham is because the opposition ran primaries a few weeks ago that brought in MILLIONS to the polls so the Maduro government freaking out is now doing this voting to showcase “strength” in numbers and to find out which parts of the chavista electoral machine need greasing ($$$).
Thats all. There’s not going to be any invasion. This is all smoke and mirrors in prep for next year presidential election.
Guyana has the biggest new oil reserves discovered since the 1970s. And 70% of Guyana’s oil drilling licenses are held by American companies. If Venezuela attacks Guyana, it would result in a conflict more one sided than the First Gulf War.
Venezuela has maybe 50 fighters, half of em are 1st generation F-16s, the rest are Sukhoi Su-30. Their navy is a joke made up of a couple dozen cold-war era relics, and they’ve got all of 225,000 troops. It would probably take only one carrier group to disable their entire supply chain, but since they’re in America’s backyard we’d probably deploy most of our offensive air power just for the hell of it.
The UN, South America and the United States would create a multinational JTF and fuck them up like Gulf War 1.
The world doesn’t tolerate invasions like these any more
Guyana represents an alternative to Venezuelan oil and gas. It weakens their position in the region.
Hey Venezuela ever heard of a country called France
People who unilaterally declare war on their neighbors usually give larger neighbors a good excuse to finally remove an itch.
The largest in flux from the south is from Venezuela. If the leader went away, most likely so would the problem. Win win.
“Vote”. lol. He’s basically already decided to start yet another war the planet doesn’t need. This is just an attempt to make himself seem “reasonable”.
