In other words, we’re talking Parador here! Maduro better be careful who he threatens.
And we would do this because...?
There also this the Monroe Doctrine died a long time ago Cuba and handing Panama to the Chinese killed it. It’s now failed policy.
Iran has threatened to send warships hither and yon for decades and to date have never gone any further west than the Arabian peninsula.
Yeah, right. Iranian Navy. Two words you’ll never see together.
Nah - he’s hoping we invade and then begin another “Marshall Plan” with him...
Looks like Maduro wants a war with its neighbor to get the people off their plight that he caused.
Wars are expensive. Venezuela is broke. Their money is worthless. Their people are starving. Just how are they going to wage a war against anyone?
Iran is send warships over there too.
I have not heard of this. If true it is going to make for a more interesting year.

Thanks for that info.
Guyana is about Venz’s speed...
That’s how Panama became free of Colombia.
Exxon is a large US Corp.... Venezuela is a political enemy of the US.... that’s usually a recipe for the entrenched Washington DC globalists hawks to blow up something....
Well, you might see them on the bottom of the sea, and soon.
So you support entrenched Washington DC globalists? Disconcerting.
You were the one who first claimed it was ‘the Brits bailiwick’ and I merely pointed out that it is an independent nation. As a ‘Kartographer’, one would assume that you should have had some knowledge of that. AFA being a member of the Commonwealth, it is also a member of the OAS which makes it as much a ‘Murcan bailiwick as a British bailiwick.
So let me make this clear so even you can understand neither county is worth one Americans life or even one American dollar!
We don’t have to get actively involved, but Venezuela is in the enemy camp. If we tacitly, quietly support Guyana, we might be able to collapse a hostile regime, and that is in our interest.
Venezuela needs to be officially told that if the VN comes back to harass ships in Guyana waters they will be considered pirates and all appriate measures be taken if they resist arrest. Tell them to go ask Putin what happens to trustpassing ships. A few ATGMs at a VN bridge and torpedos at the waterline would be affective if fired from a small patrol boat or a 4 inch gun from a larger ship.
