    Already feels a bit outdated, considering the latest developments... Edit: for anyone who hasn't heard, Venezuelan and Guayana's leaders met a few days ago and Venezuela agreed not to escalate or use force to solve the dispute. In a way, all this was very convenient bluster for Maduro to jail more opposition at home and drum up some national fervor for his regime. Of course promises don't mean much these days, but let's be real, Venezuela has less capacity for actual leverage here. No nukes to threaten anyone, absolutely no logistics to sustain an invasion, the Americans very nearby... Edit 2: quite a few people have been bringing up cases like Russia promising not to invade, but it's not about the promises, it's the ability to violate them without the significant consequences, sort of. The Russians expected a quick victory and that everyone would forget about it and move on. Now, as Russia's setting itself up for a long war, their strategy is just to wait the West out. 140 million population, significant military production capacity still (though sanctions do hurt), nukes to hold off other great powers intervening. Again, what the hell does Venezuela have? The Russians certainly can't spare anything to help anyway. If the US suddenly collapsed tomorrow, yeah, maybe Venezuela would invade Guyana

    As a Guyanese living in Guyana I can say that we never took it that serious (the people i.e). It was concerning but we never really felt threatened. This area isn't just rich in oil. Guyana has some of the highest quality gold and diamonds in the Essequibo region. We are concerned of how welcoming our government is to Venezuelans, adding spanish to our licenses and stores, our defense force bases, etc. Let's see what happens though. Oh and the taxing the oil companies is laughable, check your facts on that. Great vid though you get a like from me.

Also a few days ago, Britain decided to send a warship to conduct military exercises along Guyana's coast. This a clear message that Britain will not tolerate any incursion.

    Hi in Trinidadian. Guyana is a nation linguistically, culturally and demographically very similar to our island. I've been there many times . Trinidad is also extremely close and was once connected with land between Venezuela, with a lot of Venezuelans flocking to our small island to find a better life from their government, and this is responsible for causing a lot of controversy in recent years. Its so outrageous how the Venezuelan government want to occupy the protected land of Essequibo to exploit it of oil and minerals despite it having no historical ties to the people here. Trinidad and Tobago got your back Guyana, I pray for peace in the region.

    Indeed and as a Caricom member it is the natural thing to do. However in the pure military sense the situation isn't any better, your country can't afford to to send any units there. So far the relations with Venezuela has been kept well, among other things, for the natural gas from Venezuela. As Venezuelan i saw it myself, you guys got "invaded" by (illegal) immigrants often smuggled by the very same guys that smuggle drugs... in addition to human trafficking. This in a country that does not accept immigration, then right before imposing tourist visas had the program to legalize working and stay permit for Venezuelans one year (no idea what happened after that, if they renewed the cards or not). But this happened to all neighbors, product of the Maduro's economic miss decisions. Desperate people pay boats to get them close enough, not just to trinidad, but the abc islands, etc; and in the same vein, sometimes the boats are lost (not just by your coast guard shooting at unarmed civilians for fun). Don't get me wrong i love T&T but didn't went there as a fleeing immigrant, i did encounter some Venezuelans before they could legally stay and work a year, they were hiding, working as cooks or waitresses, sending some money home. The owners would warn them in advance if some police would come to check for illegals so they could hide. Its a horrible way to live, i also learned some cases of forced prostitution. I visited all kind of places even Laventille which for some reason people seem to be afraid off, its prettier than many places in Caracas, and safer too lol. Saw a guy getting robbed in Port of Spain, your police incapable of doing anything despite having occurred in front of the water taxi with security cameras and all... Met many nice people, Christians are active and helpful. Climate is pretty much the same and going to the beach feels exactly the same. Your country very recently repealed anti lgbt+ laws which were apparently not being enforced anyway. If only Maduro hadn't ruined the economy, tourism would be much greater and tourists visas would not be a requirement like it was in the past. Its just 1hr flight from Caracas.

    As a Venezuelan economist I would say that the hypothesis of this just being a feint to improve popularity is more feasable. Venezuelan government's greatest interest is to stay in power. An invasion to Guyana is too much risky for them to be actually serious on the matter. But they (the government) need to be actually rational about it and, sadly, we can assure this government is not rational at all, therefore I cannot reject the invasion at all (even if they already agree to not do it). On the other hand, as a Venezuelan I understand the feeling of my compratiots of considering the Essequibo as ours. Nonetheless, it is really a nonesense to think of adding that piece of land to the country. It is habitated by people with a really different culture from Venezuelans'.

    Knowing the road goes through Brazil is interesting. The Brazilian state that borders Venezuela is called Roraima, it is the most isolated and least populated state in the country, the people there do not exactly have the best relations with Venezuela/ Venezuelans, the massive wave of refugees was incredibly difficult for the state to handle, and many people just expelled Venezuelans over the border until the government began relocating people to other states. The road also goes through the capital and only city in the state too, Boa Vista, which has around 419,000 people, it is this sort of thing which is why Roraima is such a "right-wing leaning" state when it comes to politics, they were the state with the highest percentage of votes for Bolsonaro in the 2022 election. I wonder how they will react to this.

    But Kuwait was defeated almost immediately. Venezuela isn't exactly a military powerhouse, but Guyana has a population of less than a million and an army the size of a single brigade. Without a foreign intervention, there is no way Guyana holds out more than a few days.

As you mentioned the growth of Guyana's oil industry is of prime importance for the EU, and the best candidate to protect EU's interests overseas is France, which maintains a military presence, including their most decorated Foreign Legion's regiment, in nearby French Guyane. France failed to be relevant in the Russia/Ukraine and Israel/Gaza conflicts, and is also pushed back from Africa by Russian backed coups in its former colonies. Add to this the symbolic fact that the original agreement about the Essequibo was signed in Paris and I would not be surprised by France's direct intervention alongside the US, UK and Brazil in case of an escalation.

    To be fair, "dating back to 19th century" isn't a good explanation. The feud between Guyana and Venezuela is the continuation of old feud between Spain and the Netherlands/Britain. Esequiba was claimed by Spain but, the Dutch arrived there first and colonised it. Spain was preoccupied with Dutch rebellion and did not dedicate soldiers to Esequiba, hence the Dutch colonised the land. For the next two centuries, the Netherlands proved capable to fight off Spanish incursion and later Spain opted for a nominal boundary draw, but Spain demanded the Netherlands to give the western half of Esequiba to theirs, something the Netherlands would never abide. The British exploited it after buying the colony from the Dutch and ensured what the Dutch have started would not be changed. Hell why Venezuela wanted that territory back.

    ​@@manniking233 It's complicated bc Venezuela was never part of the current Colombia state. The old republic of Colombia or "Gran Colombia" (as some historian call it to diffrentiate it from the current Colombia ) was an union Between Venezuela, New Granada (former name of current Colombia) and Ecuador. Venezuela was already Venezuela but New Granada wasn't call Colombia at that time. The name of Colombia was actuallychoosen by venezuelans, the typical flag (yellow, blue, red) was created by venezuelans and even the founding fathers were all venezuelans. Incluiding Simón Bolivar, which is the most important one After this union was disssolved New Granada decided to keep the name of Colombia (and the flag) but that doesn't mean is the same state as the Gran Colombian state or even a continuation of it. This is like if after the Soviet Union dissolution Kazakhstan keept the name of USSR (they actually did for few days😅) and then started saying Russia is a rebelious state of Kazakhstan 😅 It's like if the UK disssolved tomorrow and Scotland decided to keep the name (UK) and then they started saying England and Wales are their rebelious states.

The other day, the people living in the Essequibo region of Guyana were protesting against Maduro's evil and selfish claims because they are sensible people. They know that even though the Spanish had thoughts of controlling Guyana, the Spanish NEVER [and I mean NEVER] physically came and fought for control over the land to even set up posts, etc. All along Guyana was controlled by the Dutch (there are mainly Dutch [and British] buildings, trading posts, forts, villages, etc in Guyana) and the Spanish never even tried to conquer the Dutch for the land because they were either scared of crossing the dense jungle in the Essequibo region or they were too busy taking control over what are now modern-day Colombia, Ecuador, Bolivia, Peru, Etc... Most of the Venezuelans will want to back up their false claims with "the Gran Colombia argument" but they fail to realize that Venezuela didn't even have a settled border during Gran Colombia. Thus, it's so wrong, unfair, and selfish for them to make false claims over the Guyana Essequibo region when they NEVER had a settled border in that area during Gran Colombia, they NEVER physically came and fought for control over land like the Dutch and British did, and they NEVER physically controlled, set up posts, forts, etc in that Area. Guyana was always controlled by the Dutch until the British took over and finally, gave the Guyanese people their independence. As of history and by rights, the Essequibo region ALWAYS belongs to the Guyanese people. Only ignorant, selfish bullies, greedy, weak, and delusional people will say differently and try to attack a small, peaceful, innocent, and defenseless country like Guyana and Trinidad (By the way, I believe Venezuela tried the same move with Trinidad even though [like Guyana] Trinidad was one of the Countries to help rescue them. However, I don't think they succeeded with their claims over Trinidad.... Yet, this says a lot about Venezuela [specifically and more towards their gov]😏).😌

That said, considering what Chavez did by nationalizing Venezuelan oil, essentially dooming it under a tidal wave of incompetency (who do you think comprises all of those caravans flooding into the southern US border after all), what would taking over Guyana actually do in the long term for them?

    I called this happening a year ago. Learning about this confusing crisis makes you learn alot also about the USA and the UK. If the USA did not side with the UK over their claims in Guyana, they probably would not be their ally today. This claim changed geopolitics forever and set in scope the world we live today, with the USA not neutral or against the UK in multiple world wars. That conference overnight turned the UK into a new scope over its former colony not as a rival in the Americas, but an ally for the future, unknowing that the USA would become the greatest superpower probably in the history of our known world. I doubt this will end peacefully due to Venezuelan interest backed by US rivals like Russia, I believe Guyana could be another Gulf War. Venezuela isn't being led by leaders that care about their own people, like the Falklands war, and the Kuwait invasion which became the Gulf War. I believe if oil was never discovered in Guyana, Venezuela would not care, but this isn't the case. I just hope if Guyana can succeed in this crisis and continue to bankroll their economy, they don't become another Venezuela. Venezuela is something to learn from for Guyana, given this insane position so quickly and potential to rise from a sleepy little state on the South American coast to the next market to trade with instead of violent and oppressive Venezuela.

    Truth is, our current government in Brazil is friendly to Venezuelan regime, and also most of Brazilians could care less about Guyana. To be honest, most people here have never heard of the place to begin with. However an invasion of Guyana by Venezuela using our territory is seen as unacceptable, thus we need to say no loud and clear. If Venezuela somehow manages to invade through the sea, which is way more challenging, then I think from our part we would not interfere with the military operation. The US, however, could request to use Brazilian bases to conduct its own campaign against Venezuela (for example, using our bases to refuel the fighter jets, to host troops etc).
