Request for help came after Venezuelan president announced series of measures to formalize a referendum Sunday evening
Guyana has appealed for help from the United Nations and the United States as the Venezuelan president, Nicolás Maduro, announced a series of measures intended to advance its annexation of two-thirds of the tiny South American nation’s territory.
“I have spoken to the secretary general of the United Nations and several leaders, alerting them of these dangerous developments and the desperate actions of President Maduro,” Irfaan Ali, president of Guyana, said in a television broadcast late on Tuesday, as he informed the nation of 800,000 of Maduro’s latest steps intended to create a new Venezuelan state in Guyana.
There’s no chance the US sheds blood or sends materials without something in exchange. We’ll at least get some favorable trade contracts for their oil/minerals for the next century and establish half a dozen bases on their land Inde the guise of defending their freedom(resources)
If I’m not mistaken Guyana already have deals with both Chinese and US (Exxon? Can’t remember) oil companies for petrol extraction.
So the US could just defend their interest.
But I think leaving it up to Brazil would be much smarter.
