Maduro is a strange beast. He is already indicted on real and imagined charges in the US. The average person would think that this would be reason for a pause. Not him. In his exceptional wisdom, he has decided to go beyond the boundary. No pun intended. He likes to double down.
All of Maduro’s neurons may not be firing. Maybe, he has testicles of cast iron made by a renowned foundry. If he believes that he can interrupt American oil interest in the Americas, and get away with it, then he is crazier than he looks.
If he doesn’t turn away from his course, it will be easy to predict his future. I conservatively predict that he may encounter a “mysterious” drone that deploys an R9X Hellfire. You know the munition that has all the knife blades; yep, the one which cuts its victims to pieces.
Gross waste of time. Mad U Row is insane. I stand with Guyana.
Chas, that’s how it is done. CARICOM is a union and we speak as one. Not jump the gun and go it alone to join the Lima Group in an attempt to overthrow the legitimate government of a sovereign country.
Chas is a disgrace!!!!
@Poule Foo: Given the trigger-happy history of the US military for using “shock & awe” on weaker militaries, why have they, up to now, not done the same to Venezuela, using all these mysterious & hellish weaponry they possess? After all, Venezuelan land has had the misfortune of being located over US oil, for quite some time now.
By the way, looking at the photo of those chicken-hawk, house n!gg@$ around the table, I had the strong foreboding that they might be planning to sanction another US invasion, Ã la Grenada in 1983 (that, being the only war won by the US after the end of World War II). Only, this time, their “go to” hitman has the military effectiveness of its senile commander-in-chief, ‘poopy-pants’ Biden!
Above all being said and done do you all know that russia and iran back and support the the VZ economy. They are part of brick and russia will do anything to divert attention and so does iran both goons have major capabilities and support, the USA is already stretched very thin with china, russia, gulf, palestine, its own border controlled drama. Down south they will let it go south trust me because it gives china and NK artillery opportunity to make money.
Atleast PJP sat by his country flag this time. Another per diem collected by those useless leaders from tax payers. Am sure they could’ve had a zoom meeting. Anyways. I eh really care about Vnz and Guyana. We hv our own war in Vfort. PJP try resolve that one. After all U ARE CONCERNED.
@Nudge. Venezuela is being attacked via a different warfare…economic scantions. The hope is that the country will wither on the vine. I don’t believe that the US has ever considered directly waging a hot war against Venezuela when surrogates can do it. There are huge urban areas in Venezuela and it has a sizable militia. Additionally, almost everyone knows that its oil facilities are marked for destruction in the event of a fullscale invasion. It is not worth it to the US in casualties…a pyrrhic victory.
Essequibo is very different from what we presently call Venezuela. A vast wooded area with very few roads. In the age of satellite imagery, thermal captures, sound-tracing devices and tracking devices, I don’t see Venezuela doing well. Furthermore, they wouldn’t even own the airspace over Essequibo. Lastly, they don’t even have a friendly local population that they can rely upon…a requirement for guerilla warfare
AA, I noticed something about you. It is simple you are jealous of Pierre because he is brighter and more intelligent than your uncle Chas.
Where is my comment?
