President Trump prevented a major war in South America.

Right before Nicolás Maduro was captured, Venezuela was preparing to invade Guyana over one of the world’s largest offshore oil discoveries.

US special operations forces moved in before the conflict could spiral into a regional war and humanitarian crisis that would have sent waves of migrants across the region.

And somehow, the mainstream media barely wants to talk about it.

Venezuela's navy and ground troops were in position. Brazil's leader committed his country to help.

Exxon Mobile has the contract to extract oil from Guyana’s 4th largest oilfield in the world

[Governor Dinwiddie]

Thanks for bringing this up. It's true. Maduro was planning on seizing the country of Guyana.
That would have been bad news. Guyana has rich untapped oil resources, but the whole country
is undeveloped, and largely devoid of a transportation structure. Thank God for President Trump.

Venezuela has just as much claim to the Essequibo region, that Argentina does for the Falklands.

I said when it happened that this was all about Exxon. In Angola, it was all about Chevron then Exxon.

It helps to have friends in high places and be in the national interest

[kvanbrunt2]

And this info comes from our CIA. Yeh that one that was led by a communist muslim. no thanks BS.

[Mr. Blond]

At least it means cheap gas for us, right? Right?!?

It’s a wonder any honest, by and large, US Administration can accomplish anything, what with the murky dealings of our alphabet agencies.

This has been brewing for about 2 years and a war was close to imminent. I had been keeping up with this and it all stopped when Maduro was janked out.
