Brazil mobilizes military amid potential Venezuela-Guyana conflict - Things to keep your eye on.
Defence Blog ^ | 11/30/23 | Dylan Malyasov

Frank Gaffney was on Steve Bannon's War Room last week talking about this issue. In the last few years a huge oil discovery was made in Guyana who is allied with the USA, China, Russia, and Iran have become allies of Venezuela, Brazil is now being run by a Socialist in Lula De Silva. Why should anyone care about a potential conflict in South American, the contention of Gaffney and Bannon is China, Russia, and Iran are stoking conflicts around the world, in places like Ukraine, Gaza, Red Sea, potentially in South America to bog down the USA and it's military to hot spots around the world for a potential invasion of Taiwan and other places. If a regional war breaks out in South America, if you think the border crisis is bad now, wait until war breaks out and millions more refugees flood our border fleeing the conflict.

It’s obvious our enemies see the same things we see, the USA is being led by a POTUS that has dementia and is weak, they also know that could easily change in 2024, if they want to make a move, it their eyes, it might be wise to make the move now instead of 2024.

Yep.

They know brandon is a weak, senile corrupt puppet and his handlers are idiots. China has him by his shriveled balls and he does the globalists bidding. They know now is the time to move, before PDJT gets back in the WH.

Bannon and Frank Gaffney were also talking about social unrest inside of the USA, remember that Chinese Bio Lab that was found a few months back in California, think of some really infectious disease breaks out inside the USA, how much social unrest would take place.

I just think 2024 could be a very volatile year.

In addition to what you said and all the above, a failed economy could cause a massive upheaval. I’ve said for years now the thing that will tear America apart will be the inability of the Federal Government to re-charge the EBT Cards. Look at how much trouble there was over the death of an ex-convict, drug addicted counterfeiter. City after city erupted in riots. Just wait until the unwashed masses are not able to buy food...

Guyana is a major developing oil resource nation. Micro brain just finished backing a deal between Venezuela and chevron about oil dev there. Interesting in that the Guyana dev is controlled by Exxon which is direct competitor with Chevron. Bidet hates Exxon but seems ok with chevron. Coincidently Warren buffet owns a good deal of chevron.

You’re right, I think we are already in a failing economy, it’s a slow motion trainwreck, a major cyber-attack that stop EBT cards from working for an extended time period or a real pandemic with thousands of people dying all over the place, or a series of terrorist attacks inside the USA.

We are so vulnerable to multiple types of unconventional war tactics, it’s hard to think, it won’t happen versus thinking it’s all crazy and will never happen.

Maybe the lula-istas will try to topple La Argentina now that their people elected a populist Trump protege who cares about freedom and sovereignty.

Brandon would definitely support that alongside Xi, Putin, Hollywood and Madison Ave.

You can be sure if the guy in Argentina actually implements the changes, he’s talking about anything is possible from a coup to military invasion or some unfortunate accident happens to him.

Maduro is a “globalist”?

Note both Venezuela and Brazil are “BRICS”.

If you use google maps to plot a route from Caracas to the capitol of Guyana (Georgetown?) you will see that the route will go thru Brazil for awhile. Apparently there is no good route thru the Ven/Guy border, maybe it is all swamp.

That is partly why Brazil is concerned about the potential war.

You wonder if Maduro and Lula are allies, would Lula allow Maduro’s army access into Guyana thru Brazil, they are allied with the same people, China, Russia, Iran, etc.

Evidently the oil discoveries in Guyana would make them a real-world power in the Oil Business.

All that oil in the hands of China, Russia, and Iran thru Maduro and Lula would be worth a lot of money and power to whoever controls it.

Brazil wants access to the offshore oil deposits and can extract oil at a premium to most competitors.

So Guyana has to pick whom they’ll lease to and what the producers will give them. They can negotiate or put their hands up if Maduro grabs it. But then Maduro has to lease it to someone who has offshore platform resources to extract it and doesn’t care about international sanctions against the Taking -probably China. China is probably backing Venezuela’s seizure effort. In which case Brazil gets left out of lease opportunities so.... then what?

Since Maduro and Lula are allied with the same people, Xi Jinping could act like a mafia boss and cut Lula in a piece of the action, if plays along with the takeover of Guyana.
