    @@traycee2404 because they made a deal with the devil-capital owners. This is what would happen. 1. International Court of Arbitration. Capital rules the world. Capital owned have a system whereby they can sue a state for undermining their profits. The judges of said court are appointed by corporations. Honduras recently attempted to take back the drinking water that was sold off by a fa… regime the U.S. put into power-they were ordered to pay billions of dollars, amounting to more than their yearly GDP, in reparations. 2. US could overthrow the government as it has done in virtually every other Latin American country. The US and UK attempted this several times prior, namely after Jagan’s election. They eventually got what they wanted with Forbes Burnham who dismantled democracy and gave the west everything it wanted. He ruled from 1964-1985… and he was not nice, to say the least. So I’m sure they don’t want that history repeated again. 3. Without western support the country would have no way of defending itself against Venezuela. The fact that Exxon has stake in the oil means that U.S. will stop at nothing to protect the oil fields from Venezuela. 4. Capital wants to know that you play by their rules. If you don’t, they’ll pull out of your country. This ain’t bad per se, but having an untapped oil field off of your coast is like dangling raw meat in front of wolves. 5. Guyana doesn’t have the means to drill the oil. Only other option would be China or Iran-then you’re looking at a Cuban missile crisis event (China or Iran would need to protect their investments). Sanctions, embargoes etc would ensure. Also, Monroe doctrine.

    @@roseanncampbell3168 Except you can look at his other interviews and find that yes, he does ask other world leaders these same style of questions, albeit some of these will have different interviewers. It's a series called HardTalk where the whole intent and purpose is to bring up such questions. This isn't a debate, it's not meant to bring up a balanced argument and have the interviewer argue his point of view. Instead he is meant to challenge the President with difficult questions in order to check both the validity of his statements and challenge his belief, to which the President provided well thought out responses which demonstrated he knew what he was doing. Well thought out plans are not made through constant agreements, you have to ask tough questions and question your own beliefs in order to move forward. Neither is it meant to make the President look stupid, otherwise the President would not have agreed for the interview to take place. You seem to forget that the entire interview was agreed to be filmed by both parties and that the BBC uploaded this video, meaning both parties were happy with the results from this interview.

    As one climate investigator, Malgorzata Askanas, Senior R&D Associate at Aurora Biophysics Research, has said about the gov’t promotion of climate change as she pushed back on the widely propagated concept that there’s scientific consensus about “the harmfulness of CO2, about global warming trend, about the increase in natural disasters, about the melting of arctic ice”: “These are all politically motivated dogmas that are buttressed by careless or outright fraudulent data, statistics, and arguments,” she said, calling the U.N. net-zero plan “fascistic through-and-through.” She sees the climate agenda as a way for governments to gain total political control and outlined several government-imposed climate remedies including carbon footprint regulations, carbon credits, skyrocketing transportation costs, and huge government subsidies for so-called green initiatives. Presently, some gov’ts are using these funds for corruption disguised as valid programs where they divert funds to political allies. She continued: “Converting the Earth into a desert of solar panels and wind generators will still not provide enough energy. Although it might make the planet unlivable enough so no energy would be required.” Another climate expert has called climate science a “failed science” as the questioning of its proponents and so-called experts, along with their absurd claims, has been discouraged or prevented by governments and main stream media.

    @@LadieKadie Honestly climate change is still real but lambasting developing nations from doing the same to build themselves up like the Western world is doing is very hypocritical. Not just that, the Global South seems to be much better with their natural resources and keeping them alive too. The Western world makes most of the carbon emissions of the world and are the largest polluters of the world despite not having even nearly the population the Global South has.

    It's very weird to take this stance with this comment, as you can simply google other HardTalk interviews by the same journalist and see that his style and body language is the same across every single one, even in interviews that where not done face-to-face such as those during the COVID Pandemic. For these styles of questions to be effective, you cannot allow one candidate to have more respect that then other, all are treated the same. Just because someone is the leader of a country does not mean the style of questioning should be adjusted, otherwise it loses it's effectiveness at being uncomfortable and putting the interviewee on the spot. People spouting nonsense about a 'West vs Growing Countries' narrative as part of this interview seem to lack any form of reading comprehension nor research skills, as the interviewer is not trying to shame or belittle the President, rather to put pressure on him to make sure answers given are not something he rehearsed for.

Even if he has the same mannerism in all his interviews, it was still improper to act like that as it shows pretentiosness on his part. This is an interview, not an interrogation so spare me with your "putting pressure". He came to their country and therefore he should show some respect. No wonder journalism is dying all across the globe. They're just activists pretending to be journalists.

    It's simple: the developed world has already made their money from extracting oil. Now they've made their money, they want to tell developing countries they need to stay poor and focus on the environment. It's hypocrisy at it's finest. You don't want them to drill? Then pay them the same amount of money they'd receive from Exxon or shut your mouth. I must say - you Americans are way too obsessed with race. We are all just people. I think you'd find that most of your issues would be resolved by taking race out of everything and just focus on socioeconomics. Nothing about this story even slightly has anything to do with skin colour. It's a real shame of the American lens to see colour in everything. Peace! ✌

    From my observation and historical market pattern, there might be a bit of turbulence in the market coming up, but here's the deal: Trying to guess what's going to happen next is less important than spreading your bets when trading and thinking long term. It's not about guessing the market's next move; it's about playing it smart and steady...managed to grow a nest egg of around 100k to a decent 532k in the space of a few months... I'm especially grateful to Wilson Louise, whose deep expertise and traditional trading acumen have been invaluable in this challenging, ever-evolving financial landscape....

The president is absouletly amazing and remarkable. It is speechless. He could be more outstanding than usual due to the reporter’s aggressive quetions and attitude though. Now the president has incresed the presence of his coutry successfully and It is truly good for him. Lastly, I think everything was going as their scenario made and agreed by both of them.
