Venezuela Invades Guyana to Block Exxon Mobil Oil Exploration

[harmonica]

I bet that the government of Venezuela could kill a person in cold blood and drumpf would still sell them air planes and provide cover.

just as long as he MAGA, what's the difference?
people die all the time all over the world

Time for some target practice for our Navy.

When you look at Venezuela you should think "there but for the grace of the electoral college go I"

Good one DOTR

What the …..

The Venezuelan Navy illegally entered the waters of Guyana this weekend and forced a ship contracted by Exxon Mobil to conduct oil research in the area to vacate, claiming that Guyana’s permission to explore its sovereign territory was not enough for the ship to be legally present in the water.

And not a word about it in the Lame Street Media.


An outright attack by one country on another right here in the Americas and nobody’s talking about it? What on earth is going on?

The incident, which Guyanese authorities angrily denounced and vowed to bring to the attention of the United Nations, reignites a feud Venezuelan socialist dictator Nicolás Maduro began with the neighboring country in 2015, claiming as much as two-thirds of Guyana itself belonged to Venezuela. Guyana has repeatedly noted that Venezuela signed an agreement in 1899 on the territory in question and no disputes remain as to who owns that land.

With his country falling apart around him, Maduro seems to be using adventurism to try to protect his tyranny.

Looki, looki...

"U.S. oil giant ExxonMobil has teamed up with Guyana to bring the Guyana-Venezuela border issue before the International Court of Justice.

The multinational oil company seeks to sway the court’s decision in favor of Guyana, who they see as more friendly towards their interests. To this end, ExxonMobil has agreed to finance the country’s legal fees which are estimated to be about $15 million."

Ten of the twelve (lima) signers of the latest anti-Venezuelan declaration by Pompeo have withdrawn article 9:

"9. They condemn any provocation or military deployment whatsoever that threatens peace and security in the region. They call upon the regime of Nicolas Maduro and the Armed Forces of Venezuela to desist from actions that violate the sovereign rights of their neighbours. In this respect, they demonstrate their deep concern in regard to interception that took place on 22 December 2018, of a ship for seismic research, by the Venezuelan navy within the Economic Exclusive Zone of the Cooperative Republic of Guyana."

The move is a result of evidence provided by the Venezuelan government combined with a threat of "most urgent and crude diplomatic measures" linked to a 48h ultimatum. The Ultimatum for the other two countries has been extended.
