Here’s a good overview of the situation: https://apnews.com/article/venezuela-guyana-essequibo-territory-dispute-maduro-referendum-d3e65757ca8da2355994ec8a44c148ba

 

is also militarizing their Northern border as a consequence:  https://www.reuters.com/world/americas/brazil-increases-northern-border-military-presence-amid-venezuela-guyana-spat-2023-11-29/

Without oil, this wont happen......for his good, Maduro should see what happen with Saddam Hussein when he invaded kuwait.

No idea. I don’t feel like the world really needs another geopolitical conflict at the moment though

Honestly I doubt Venezuela would actually attack. Is anyone anywhere in the region going to accept that? Venezuela might beat tiny Guyana and take most of their terrority if there was no help in any way at all, but I doubt they stand a chance against basically any other power in the area.

 

Besides, several significantly stronger countries than Venezuela have some influence in the wide area and likely won't exactly want a war close to them. Seems like just your typical thing to deflect attention from how bad the government is doing.

 

That link you posted about Brazil increasing it's military presence in the northern border says a lot though. Specifically, the photo says a lot:

 

Spoiler

 

Members of the National Bolivarian Armed Forces of Venezuela organize the people who participate in an electoral simulation before the referendum on December 3 over Venezuela's rights to the potentially oil-rich region of Esequiba in Guyana, in Caracas, Venezuela November 19

 

If actual armed forces are around and this openly involved in elections/referendums, you know it's just another scam election/referendum, Russia-on-Ukrainian-territory-style.

If some third party were to intervene (militarily speaking) it would only be USA, nobody else is interested in this conflict as longs as it doesn't go beyond the region in question (Esequibo).

The inexperience that they have shown in the last days can't be ignore, I hope for the best to Milei's period, but they have some sign that can't be accepted

- The work secretary is the wife of a high personnel of Pinochet's dictatorship

- The human resources minister (I don't know how to name it in English) has got ZERO experience, with an online degree. 

- Macri's personnel are all over the ministers, that can't be right, specially if Caputto is the minister of economy.

 

I could continue. Again, I do really want that milei's government will be successful, but they have being really bad until now, and it's only the transition period.

Caputto or is his "Erman Gonzalez" economy minister (a minister who make all the "polemic desicions and quit after that) or he is only for deactivate the leliqs with credits using his lobby with CIF and anothers players, i dont see him too much time after that.

We have a lot of minister with zero experience in the past, is nothing to be worried in Argentina, imgine our current "chif of staff" was a librarian and nothing more.

Is the wife, not the husband, we had a lot of "ex guerrilla" members with homicides in their past like ministers,im not afraid at all with this old lady.

There is a large difference , hostages of hamas have been treated like humans .....while palestinians hostages have been treated like dogs : they put 10 in a prison of 3 meters , no food no water no toilet +torture
