Thanks for this information. Very well done.
Can we all remember that not long ago Maduro threatened to occupy the Dutch Antilles???
Still only telling half the story eh? Who paid you for this propaganda, the US? That was quick. The ICC didn't tell Venzuela not to do anything, it mentioned both Venezuela AND Guyana not to do anything. THUMBS DOWN.
Venezuela exists inside Guyana (Guiana shield) but yet we don't complain as a native American nation. This is why we have a Native American headress presidential seal, golden arrow head flag, national dish and people. Guyana represents the indigenous of America with mixed Asian, African and Indo-European blood/culture built on Dutch, French and British foundation. Venezuela has Zero legitimate claims.
Unfortunately, even though Venezuela has all the legal papers to prove that it is theirs, the reality is that the country, even though it could take it by force, never did so because it trusted that international law would help it, now that so much time has passed. , it goes from being utis possidetis juris to free determination of the people, even though that area barely has 15% of Guyana's population, the reality is that a lot has happened and Venezuela fell asleep in its dreams, the Paris award is irritating, That is clear and if the court says that it would not only demonstrate that Venezuela was right in not trusting the court after all many see this duel now as David against Goliath but they forget that it was the United Kingdom that usurped that land and that luado was a clear threat of oh you accept this or you lose even the Orinoco River, Venezuela could only accept, they compare Ukraine with Guyana but no one sees that this imposition was basically Russia with Ukraine with Venezuela, or you accept losing 20% of territory Or do I take more from you for peace... I mean, not only was Venezuela not represented by itself in the Paris award, but by the way, if it didn't accept that it could lose more... so I ask the Ukraine team? Should Ukraine also accept to lose 20% for peace even if it is theirs? So why should Venezuela accept something that was exactly what was suggested to Ukraine and it rejected it, here comes the clear question of why one is a Western ally and the other is not or at least at that moment the US did not want a problem with the UK. for a country that had little interest despite the Monroe doctrine... I also understand that the Guyanese do not want to lose 70% of the country, obviously no one would accept that, Venezuela reluctantly accepted 20% and it was hard, but 70% obviously is ridiculous, which If you ask me, the court should be a new demarcation, that border is poorly drawn and there are better previous lines that, at least in the greatest interest of Venezuela, would grant it most of the Roraima area and a better Atlantic coast. If the borders remain as they are, friend, let him open a new case later, because Guyana wants to block sovereign access over the waters of the Atlantic Sea to Venezuela, even though international law says things in parallel, for example, it should be, I mean This is a problem that if it is not resolved well it is for someone else to start tomorrow... even so it is a very complex issue, I know that in the English-speaking world it is more Team Guyana either because of the language or because they have half the truth ... but thanks for explaining, personally, I don't think this comes to anything, since it is just an extratagem for the regime to stay in power and persecute opponents and try to cheat in the elections that could definitively mark the return of Venezuela pro-West... (I say this without taking into account ideological positions because, for example, Brazil is leftist but will not take sides in favor of Venezuela because in the end ideologies are common points of many between alliances and interests of nations.. If we go to that point, many countries would not be allies or would be allies only for sharing economic or political ideas when in reality it is more complex.)

The idea that Brazil would ever let someone cross its territory to invade another country is ridiculous

@@marklalonde7996hard to make that judgement, Brazil's military dwarfs Venezuela's and could lead to Maduro's downfall.
@@bubba6989No, Brazil has no means or will to intervene in Venezuela
As a guyanese, i watched the war in Ukraine start and thought, that could never happen here, my heart tore for those people but now it seems we face the same problem on our doorstep, again i'm torn, our country has never known war or any type of prolonged violence, i'm scared to think about tomorrow...
The difference is your country doesn't Have resources to fight a war. So if nobody intervenes things don't look good.
Better prepare escape plan. And stay safe out there
The difference is that, unlike the war in Ukraine, the US in this case, if it wants to (and that is pretty much certain if diplomacy does not work), will use very limited resources to do so. Venezuela's army is very weak of course it could cope with that of Guyana, but such a scenario will not happen. So @snurch9232 you don't have to worry about being left alone with this, the Americans will help Guyana, and not because it would hurt the Guyanese but because they have an interest in it.
You'll be fine mate. You're a Commonwealth country, your neighbours are a French territory and Venezuela is literally surrounded by US, French and UK military bases.
This is just a desperate despot, printing cute maps and sabre rattling for attention.
@@tin-n-tan Only issue is Russia is in Venezuela n is much stronger than those 3 nations.. US is sending weapons reserved specifically for the US to Ukraine bcuz US is literally drained of resources, so funding n fighting another war will only cripple it more..
@@P71ScrewHeadthat’s right, the U.S in peace time cannot afford to allocate resources to wars in three different nations simultaneously, it would lead to another government shut down, another debt ceiling crisis, and dwindling resources for America’s very own armed forces.
Do you remember when Maduro would routinely make a huge show of opposing “imperialism?” Pepperidge farms remembers.
lol guyana has a puppet government. you're not seeing the full picture
the whole beginning of this video explains how colonialism is the reason Guyana exists. The British exploited Venezuela's weakness as a young nation to bully and carve out part of their territory. Venezuela capturing territory they've long held is theirs with historical context supporting those claims, does not fit the definition of imperialism
@@camdavis9362 facts
@@camdavis9362 Essequibo has been part of Guyana since 1899. It’s absolutely preposterous to claim the Venezuela has claim to that territory, especially without a consenting vote from the population of Essequibo. This has everything to do with Guyana’s recently discovered oil reserves and Venezuela’s collapsed economy. You don’t just get to claim territory because once upon a time your country used to own it. Legitimate land claims come primarily from a combination time, consent, and international recognition. Venezuela hasn’t held this territory for 120 years. It doesn’t belong to Venezuela any more than Venezuela belongs to Spain.
Not to mention this is sure to start a war between Venezuela and Guyana. The Guyanese are not ok with this, not even a little bit.
@@camdavis9362A socialist using imperialism to fight imperialism over territory that doesn't belong to them anymore and arguably barely ever controlled in the first place, classic.
Brazil allocated troops to the region to protect its own borders. Even though Lula has a somewhat friendly relationship with Maduro, this does not mean he condones the annexation. On the opposite, a south american war with the potential participation of foreign powers on Brazil’s north border, in the middle of the amazon rainforest, is deeply upsetting for Brazil’s national security. Venezuela is screwing up and Brazil is trying to de-escalate before taking possibly more specific actions.
I don't know if it's ignorance of prejudice but this channel seem incapable of letting go of a particular point of view which is incapable of nuance when it comes to anything outside the interests of Poland

Crazy how these wars are timed to simultaneously pop off
In the grand scheme of things
I'll give my two cents on this as a political student; take it with a grain of salt. I don't know the minds of authoritarian leaders better than you do. For me it feels like war is being "re-legitimised" as a way to settle disputes. Before the Russo-Ukrainian war, war was taboo and looked down upon. Heavy intervention from the USA and the West in foreign wars (see the Iraqi invasion of Kuwait) have made it so peaceful solutions were more attractive than military ones (if we go from the idea that states are rational actors, which isn't always the case). However, since the invasion of Ukraine and the lack of active military intervention from the West, authoritarian countries are starting to reconsider war again as a way to settle disputes, or gain domestic support. If my small theory were to be correct, we could see a military escalation in dormant, status-quo or idle conflicts between two actors, where at least one of them is authoritarian, in the coming years. For example China pursuing an aggressive policy towards Taiwan
Maybe US and UK power wane off and china and russia got stronger
@@theeraphatsunthornwit6266 How would it be waning. The Western economy still dwarfs the BRICS economies, the same applies to every aspect of what is conventionally considered as 'power factors' (e.g. military, economic, diplomatic, cultural power...).

Venezuela: squandering their own resources, economy, and becoming desperate to distract is population (or quickly fix their own problems).
Guyana: defensless
Venezuela: Guyana is threatening the region's stability!
Guiana was part of Venezuela many years ago, it was stolen by the British, who according to Stuart Mill, an English sociologist, holds the record for filching by force more land than any other country on the globe. Efforts to reclaims this land has been thwarted both by the US and Britain. The US and England can steal as much land as possible, it is OK. Anyone else is a war crimial for doing what the US and Britain have been doing for centuries.

The production level of this channel is nothing short of one from TV documentaries!
Instead of focusing the economy Venezuela chooses war
Priority lol
It’s precisely because Venezuela’s economy is crumbling that it is choosing war.
It's a South American classic!
more like: Venezuelan regime is filled with sanctions which its disputing in the Hague and there's a new opposition getting traction over the 95% disapproval. Its being hunted by international justice due to Narco affiliation and even Maduro's head has a 15 Million$ price. How about throwing a smoke bomb? I mean, the regime is buddy buddies with Russia, China, and Iran. Venezuela has had Hezbollah troops training in them and houses the FARC.
The military heads are a bunch of thugs with feudal mentality, groomed by Chavez (Maduro's mentor) with starved troops and last century weapons from Russia.
The "referendum" was a total sham..
People dont want war.
I am Venezuelan and I can tell you that the government is made up of extreme left fanatics completely disconnected from reality, the referendum was a gigantic fraud, despite the promises and threats to get people to go out and vote, the reality is that apart from Public employees, soldiers and other clientelistic groups, no one voted, I live around 3 voting centers and I saw with my own eyes how empty they were. The amazing thing is that the CNE declared that more than 10 million Venezuelans voted, the rest of the The world witnesses that this is false, it is the opposite of what happened in 2004 during the referendum to remove Chavez from power, I stood in line for 8 hours to vote, back then they made the process extremely slow so that the People would get tired and go home, but people spontaneously organized so that no one would lose their place in line, I went to vote at 10 in the morning and voted almost at 7 at night.
By the way, Maduro offered 1 million hectares of agricultural land to Iran and 9 million to China, Russia, China and Iran are plundering the mineral resources of Venezuela while we Venezuelans are starving, they are even demolishing the tepuis to extract gold, The Iranians are extracting uranium and everything while they destroy the jungle and kill the indigenous communities in the area.

what we are looking at is the consequences of a fractured and disunited USA. when the world power looks to be faltering the whole world shakes as opportunists take their chances to get what they can before the world stabilizes one way or another.
It's a pretty bog-standard response by an authoritarian to a crumbling country. Point to the country next door, say "IT'S THEIR FAULT" and hope for the best. It's a desperate roll of the dice, but if he wins, he wins big. New land, and any faltering economy can be blamed on "Integrating a disgruntled population", while any unrest can be blamed on "Meddling by Guyana Partisans".
WHEN he loses, however, it's not certain to result in the end of his reign. He can claim foreign meddling, increase xenophobia, and call the now-increased military home to become police.
The economy he is banking on the oil reserves of Guyana to save his economy in the short term.

Kennedy is credited with popularizing the aphorism “a rising tide lifts all boats,” to suggest that investing in economic development can benefit everyone who participates in the economy.
Meanwhile Venezuela under the boot of socialism has withered. They then blame their neighbor as the root of their troubles

You can tell that by that ridiculous sea claim that shoots whay east of even the claimed land boundary, Venezuela pulling some bullsh!t Chinese 9 Dash Line style claiming.
Just because Brazil is left wing there's almost no chance they're just going to let Venezuela march through their territory to fight a pointless and likely losing war against a neutral neighbor.
the idea that because someone is on one wing of general politics doesn't really mean they sign off on literally every single action someone who's ostensibly on that "wing" is willing to do even at their own expense.
There's no chance Brazil will allow Venezuela to do that, it's crazy to suggest it and shows complete and total lack of understanding of the situation in Latin America (and possibly prejudice too)

ALMIGHTY GOD KABIR is the father of all souls that JESUS, MOHAMMAD, GURU NANAK, VEDH was telling in BIBLE, QURAN, GURU GRANTHA SAHEB
PRESENT MESSENGER of ALMIGHTY GOD KABIR is SAINT RAMPALJI MAHARAJ 🙏🙏
Who is complete God?
Iyov 36:5 - Orthodox Jewish Bible (OJB)
See, El is Kabir, and despiseth, not any; He is Kabir in ko’ach lev (strength of understanding).
Translation: Supreme God is Kabir, but despises no one. He is Kabir, and firm in his purpose.
In all Bible translations, the word Kabir has been translated as "Mighty" or "Great" whereas Kabir is the original name of Supreme God.
Conclusion: This verse of the Bible proves that Kabir is Complete God. The one who worships God Kabir by taking initiation from the complete saint sent by him gets complete salvation. After attaining salvation that souls rest in peace in the eternal abode Satlok forever. The throne of God is in Satlok( ETERNAL PLACE) 😊😊
God Kabir met Jesus and took his soul to Satlok. On their way, God Kabir made him see his ancestors David, Moses, Abraham, etc. in the Pitra Lokas. Then God took him to Satlok😊

Curious about how the whole situation is perceived from the Guyanan side. Stay safe
I've been waiting for you to cover this topic!
This is one of the best analysis I’ve seen on the subject. Cudos what a great video
our constitution in Brazil doesn't allow for any foreign troops within our territory with the exception of training missions, thus why Brazil doesn't have any foreign bases and the one the US had in Brazil was closed once our constitution was passed back in the 80s.
É isso creio eu que são umas das coisas mais importantes que temos em nossa constituição.
Leftist policies caused severe damage to Brazil, leading to it now being one of the most corrupt nations.

Actually it is. That's why Venezuela has survived AMERICAN SANCTIONS and the European freezing BILLIONS of Venezuela's money in their banks. The British also refuses to give Venezuela back billions of its Gold. Venezuela's recovering despite the EVILS of Western countries

Best guess: Venezuela will start building roads through the jungle, along with forced resettlements of its own people. It will also annex remote villages reportedly disloyal to the Guyanese government. It won't get them more than about 1/3 of the province, but it will allow them a "victory" with no (or at least mostly no) direct fighting.
A full invasion of pro-Guyanese population centers would be suicide by Western intervention.

Venezuela was born from 5 provinces established as the general captaincy of Venezuela in 1777, after the independence it was integrated to the great Colombia from which it separated in September 1830 keeping until that moment the 5 provinces that conformed the old general captaincy of Venezuela, these included the Esequibo; What is currently known as the Guyanas (English, French and Surinam) was originally a territory occupied by Dutch settlers east of the Esequibo River where Fort Kykoveral was established in 1616, administered by Holland. This limit established the border between Spain and the Kingdom of Holland, but in 1814 Holland ceded a piece of Guyana to the British in the Anglo-Dutch treaty, The British, taking advantage of the situation of Venezuela, Colombia and Ecuador that were in full wars of independence, began to take possession of territory west of the Esequibo River, for which Simon Bolivar himself made the first claim indicating that they should return to the east of the border river, which is duly documented in the communications sent to them:
"...The Venezuelan Minister in London, Dr. José Rafael Revenga, by instructions of the Liberator Simón Bolívar, presented the official complaint to the British authorities in the following terms: "The settlers of Demerara and Berbice have usurped a large portion of land that according to the last treaties between Spain and the Netherlands belongs to us on the side of the Essequibo River. It is absolutely indispensable - the Venezuelan diplomat concludes - that said colonists either place themselves under the jurisdiction and obedience of our laws, or withdraw to their former possessions". Two years later, José Manuel Hurtado was appointed Envoy Extraordinary and Minister Plenipotentiary of Colombia to the United Kingdom, replacing Dr. Revenga, with the special mission of obtaining British recognition...".
With the death of Bolivar and the internal wars of Venezuela the kingdom of England since 1831 began a silent advance usurping lands west of the Esequibo River, but from 1835, they hired the British geographer and explorer Robert Hermann Schomburgk to draw the boundary lines, here it gets worse Mr. Schomburgk was creating plans with different borders each taking more territory of Venezuela to the point that he came to take in his maps what is now the state of Bolivar of Venezuela and Delta Amacuro state, almost half of Venezuela. Schomburgk was creating plans with different borders each one taking more territory of Venezuela to the point that he came to take in his maps what today is the Bolivar state of Venezuela and the Delta Amacuro state, almost half of Venezuela which obviously generated a protest to the kingdom of England, the military superiority of England led Venezuela to seek support for its claim and in 1899 USA intervened under the Monroe doctrine forcing England to an international arbitration, However, in this arbitration the Venezuelans were not allowed to participate and a jury was formed with 2 American lawyers ("representing Venezuela"), 2 British judges and 1 Russian judge, as expected and in a record time of only 6 days, the British and the other 3 judges voted in favor of England and signed the famous Paris award of 1899 where the entire territory of the Essequibo was taken away from Venezuela with the stroke of a pen.
Severo Mallet-Prevost (Zacatecas, October 8, 1860-New York, December 10, 1948) was an American lawyer, engineer and jurisconsult who was part of Venezuela's defense in the Paris Arbitration Award during the dispute over Guayana Esequiba.
After the death of Severo Mallet Prevost, his legal representative Otto Schöenrich made public in 1949, by express disposition of Prevost, a document written by Mallet Prevost himself in 1944, in which he considers that the Arbitral Award was a political compromise, the work of pressure against justice, a backroom compromise by which "three judges who had the majority disposed of the territory of Venezuela, because the two British judges were not acting as judges, but as men of the government, as lawyers". The document would confirm that Fedor Martens deliberately did not act as an impartial judge, was not guided by the principles of law and technical analysis of the evidence and even, according to the document, persuaded one of the parties to accept a proposal for a solution to the dispute that he himself had prepared, far from the same rules contained in the Arbitration Treaty of 1897 and the principles governing the law. This finding would expose a compromise that took place with respect to the decision of the Paris Arbitral Tribunal. The document would serve Venezuela as one of several elements to make a formal denunciation of the award before the world in 1962.
In 1962 Venezuela for the first time officially claimed as its own at the United Nations the territory located west of the Essequibo River, alleging defects of nullity and what is known in international law as acts contrary to good faith on the part of the British government, in addition to an alleged compromise by some of the members of the Paris Award.
This claim before the UN led to the Geneva agreement, which is the legal basis for the current Venezuelan claim.
The Geneva Agreement was signed between Venezuela and the United Kingdom (on behalf of its then British Guiana colony) in Geneva (Switzerland) on February 17, 1966. It is a transitory agreement to reach a definitive solution to the boundary dispute, many define it as "an agreement to reach an agreement" and although in the Venezuelan interpretation it invalidates the 1899 arbitration award, the status quo derived from it is maintained. Therefore, the area under claim is under the authority of the government of Guyana until something different is resolved in accordance with the treaty. The first article of the document recognizes Venezuela's contention that the decision of the tribunal that defined its border with British Guiana is null and void. By signing the document, the United Kingdom acknowledges Venezuela's claim and disagreement, thus agreeing to find a practical, peaceful and satisfactory solution for the parties.
When Great Britain decided to grant independence to British Guiana, within the Commonwealth, on May 26, 1966, denominating itself as Guyana, this would be a State Party, as established in Article 7 of the Geneva Agreement. Therefore, Guyana ratified the Geneva Agreement on the same day of its independence, thus recognizing the Venezuelan claim over the territory on the western margin of the Essequibo River.
This agreement being the basis that determines a disputed territory obliges Guyana not to give concessions to foreigners, but Guyana violated this tacit agreement placing Venezuela in a position of defending its rights over the territory, now President Irfaan of Guyana cannot play the victim when it was he who received money from foreign companies for his personal benefit and led Guyana to make a serious mistake by violating the Geneva agreement; the international community cannot force Venezuelans to stand idly by while Guyana and foreign companies literally abuse a territory yet to be determined;
Venezuelans have the right to take concrete actions to defend our sovereignty and rights in the archipelago. Latin America is witness to the excesses and abuses of England; for example, the Falklands and the Caribbean islands are a sample of the arbitrary way in which the British power even using pirates was stealing territory in the Caribbean, the island states that today make up the CARICOM were born from the theft and pillage of pirates financed by England.
Most of the conflicts of the modern world were inherited from the criminal actions of England, used to invade and steal territories from other countries, the conflicts in Arab countries, the conflict between Palestine and Israel, the conflict between China and Hong Kong, the racial conflict in South Africa, the confrontation between Pakistan and India, the internal conflicts in India, the conflicts within the former British colonies in Africa, including Sierra Leone, even the United States fought the English to expel them from North America.
Venezuela is a country of peace, but if Guyana continues to deny the right we have over the Essequibo we are ready to take up arms and defend our territorial heritage and the sovereignty of our nation even if the USA and Brazil intervene.
@@siddhartagoutama4140 Your government can't even feed the people of your country. Instead of looking for a way to solve your country's internal problems and lack of democracy your government uses this to distract your people from the real problems. The fact is even if we take your government figures at face value only 50℅ of the eligible voters came out and voted that's bad for something they were taught in school for over 50 years that Essequibo belongs to them, that tells you that they are much more urgent issues in your country right now. Your people don't need Essequibo they need food that's why they come here in Guyana because they have no choice their is no work in Venezuela these young women are forced to do prostitution because they don't have a choice 15 thousand fucky fucky.
The people of Essequibo shares no ethnic cultural and linguistic similarities with your people the Amerindian people who have lived their for more than a 1,000 years have never been and don't want to be under spanish control if you dont believe me you go and ask any of them who they perfer Guyana or Vensezuela they will tell you in engish that they are Guyanese. Their are no spanish influences in Essequibo today the people of Essequibo are the previously mentioned Amerindian tribes, people who are decedents of Indian indentured labours, Affrcan slaves, Portuguese labours and Chinese labours. They dont want to be Venezuelans they are happy being Guyanese. Oh and also please advise your government to respect the ruling of the International Court of Justice they have made it clear on multiple occasions that it has the jurisdiction to hear this matter so please respect the decision that the court will make.

Desert Storm veterans: "Hey, I've seen this one before"
A lot of people, including this channel, has some of a distorted view about Lula's partnership with Maduro. While he did approach Maduro and strenghten diplomatic ties this is mainly about recovering Brazil's status as a regional power and a diplomatic powerhouse. Brazil for instance worked with U.S.A to get the oil-elections deal later this year and is gently pushing for democratic reforms, although we all know that's almost impossible, at least while US-Russia-China relations are heating up.
If Maduro decides to invade Guyana, all these goals will become unsustainable, externally and internally, Lula/Brazil then will have two options to soften the effect of a disaster like a war in Brazil's borders: Help Guyana. Abstain.
Either of those, will probably come with an extra... U.S Intervention in S.A soil, which is the last thing any south american president wants, while Brazil allowing Venezuela troops to use it's own territory it's a hilarious theory. So, if there's a world where Venezuela indeed invades, which i find unlikely, it would be through water or air.
Lula is a far leftist. Maduro is a far leftist. He most certainly wanted to strengthen diplomatic ties with Venezuela and has done so. You think it's laughable he'd let them use Brazil's territory? He may even provide military assistance.
"Distorted"
He was openly friends with Hugo Chavez and still supports the dictatorship responsible for the misery of the venezuelan people.
Stop being soft on corrupt sociopaths in power
Don’t talk nonsense! I’m Brazilian, I can say that Lula supports Maduro! Both share the same bloodthirsty and terrorist ideology that is socialism/communism. Has videos of the squid together and embracing the mature, receiving him in our country as if he were a just ruler but, we know that Maduro is a dictator and drug trafficker, destroyed his country Venezuela. The plan of the PT/ lula, is to unify all South America in a single ideology, which is: Socialism/ communism, so there is the Forum of São Paulo in Brazil, a criminal organization where several dictators and terrorists of countries, was founded by lula and Fidel Castro, purpose of further strengthening their bloodthirsty ideology. After the coup of the republic against the Monarchy in 1889, we live until today in a Kleptocracy, the Brazilian population tried their best to revert against these corrupt and drug traffickers but, the generals of the high command of Brazil BETRAYED the honest population, Christian and pro-family in our country and now we are at the mercy of drug trafficking! We have judges complicit in drug trafficking and terrorism, Alexandre de Moraes minister of the Brazilian federal supreme court, commands the three Brazilian political powers, no one can stop him, even helped the elections of 2022 and rigged the polls, the population tried their best to go against, However, we did not get results from our armed forces, we were betrayed! Brazil is a country of CLPETOCRACY.
I sailed up the Essequibo in 2009, by yacht, to Bartica. The river is really shallow (only 2m in many places and there were no charts available back then), so they'll have a hard job getting large naval vessels upriver to the populated places.

You may not know it, but China, Russia and Iran are looting Venezuela with the approval of the government in exchange for weapons and international support. It is no coincidence that the Russian state company Rosneft dedicated a statue to Hugo Chavez and demolished it in his town. native, currently Russia and China and Iran control the refineries and trade of Venezuelan oil after the Chavista regime destroyed the industry, Iran is extracting uranium in the Amazon, it is no coincidence that the president of Iran came for an official visit A few months ago, by the way, nearly 2,000 members of Iran's revolutionary guard were in charge of Nicolas Maduro's security.
it was actually cuba who sent troops to venezuela
@@007kingifrit Yes, more than 50,000 Cubans who took command of various institutions, including military intelligence, the Venezuelan military is subordinate to Cuban officers, managing to purge the armed forces of any officer who dissented from the government's policies, we also have the Colombian guerrilla that swears loyalty to Maduro because it allows them to do whatever they want in Venezuelan territory, Maduro is an ally and protected from the worst of humanity as long as they support him.
Boneheads running US foreign policy thought they could collapse Russia. Turns out the USSA is gonna fall instead. OOPS.

Brazil has always been passive when it came to war, going where the most favorable wind blows.
Even in WW2 Brazil was willing to negotiate with Germany, only going to the Allies with promises of financing Brazil's heavy industry and post-war economic ties.
Lula is a corrupt populist, not a dictator (brazilian politics are pretty fractured), he would never drag Brazil into a conflict or support a pariah State, that's just burning bridges with everyone, including the people who support him.
If an invasion did ocurr, I believe that Brazil would just stay in the sidelines watching the disaster unfold, saying a lot in the media and UN, but effectively doing nothing.
lula is not corrupt. Even the bolsonaro-friendly courts had to rule he was clean. It was far right propaganda to remove lula out of power in brazil.
Lula isn't a corrupt populist, I mean he is neither a populist neither corrupt according to evidence we have. But I agree with the rest of your assessment. Brazil won't pick a fight there or anywhere. It's not a militarista country and the military doesn't want to die for nothing, they have cushy jobs with good wages selling off the country

I guess I shouldn't be surprised, given that powder kegs seem everywhere these days...

I'm Brazilian and I'll try to summarize the situation seen by us! The majority of Brazilian army soldiers are not happy with Lula's victory and are strongly demanding that Lula be energetic and firm against the Maduro, today the Minister of Defense has already given the message that no Venezuelan military will use our roads. and don't you dare go through them, according to the newspapers Lula has a meeting scheduled next year with the president of Guyana and is getting upset with the Maduro and will be more energetic against the mature's plan! If there really is an attempt to annex Guyana, the Brazilian military will react even without the president's authorization!
".......the Brazilian military will react even without the president's authorization!" Hmm, that's a recipe for a military coup, my friend. These events always have unintended consequences.
@@juniorjames7076Well, the day was January 8th and we almost reached that level, the Bolsonarists invaded the congress, the military simply left, Humbly, if a military coup happens, I won't be surprised, a hug from Brazil
It's literally hoi4 world tension going up 📈
Rapaz eu fico impressionado com isso , o camarada me de destrói a economia do seu país , descobre uma grande reserva de petróleo no quintal do vizinho e quer invadir ? Ele só pode está de brincadeira né.
Venezuela was born from 5 provinces established as the general captaincy of Venezuela in 1777, after the independence it was integrated to the great Colombia from which it separated in September 1830 keeping until that moment the 5 provinces that conformed the old general captaincy of Venezuela, these included the Esequibo; What is currently known as the Guyanas (English, French and Surinam) was originally a territory occupied by Dutch settlers east of the Esequibo River where Fort Kykoveral was established in 1616, administered by Holland. This limit established the border between Spain and the Kingdom of Holland, but in 1814 Holland ceded a piece of Guyana to the British in the Anglo-Dutch treaty, The British, taking advantage of the situation of Venezuela, Colombia and Ecuador that were in full wars of independence, began to take possession of territory west of the Esequibo River, for which Simon Bolivar himself made the first claim indicating that they should return to the east of the border river, which is duly documented in the communications sent to them:
"...The Venezuelan Minister in London, Dr. José Rafael Revenga, by instructions of the Liberator Simón Bolívar, presented the official complaint to the British authorities in the following terms: "The settlers of Demerara and Berbice have usurped a large portion of land that according to the last treaties between Spain and the Netherlands belongs to us on the side of the Essequibo River. It is absolutely indispensable - the Venezuelan diplomat concludes - that said colonists either place themselves under the jurisdiction and obedience of our laws, or withdraw to their former possessions". Two years later, José Manuel Hurtado was appointed Envoy Extraordinary and Minister Plenipotentiary of Colombia to the United Kingdom, replacing Dr. Revenga, with the special mission of obtaining British recognition...".
With the death of Bolivar and the internal wars of Venezuela the kingdom of England since 1831 began a silent advance usurping lands west of the Esequibo River, but from 1835, they hired the British geographer and explorer Robert Hermann Schomburgk to draw the boundary lines, here it gets worse Mr. Schomburgk was creating plans with different borders each taking more territory of Venezuela to the point that he came to take in his maps what is now the state of Bolivar of Venezuela and Delta Amacuro state, almost half of Venezuela. Schomburgk was creating plans with different borders each one taking more territory of Venezuela to the point that he came to take in his maps what today is the Bolivar state of Venezuela and the Delta Amacuro state, almost half of Venezuela which obviously generated a protest to the kingdom of England, the military superiority of England led Venezuela to seek support for its claim and in 1899 USA intervened under the Monroe doctrine forcing England to an international arbitration, However, in this arbitration the Venezuelans were not allowed to participate and a jury was formed with 2 American lawyers ("representing Venezuela"), 2 British judges and 1 Russian judge, as expected and in a record time of only 6 days, the British and the other 3 judges voted in favor of England and signed the famous Paris award of 1899 where the entire territory of the Essequibo was taken away from Venezuela with the stroke of a pen.
Severo Mallet-Prevost (Zacatecas, October 8, 1860-New York, December 10, 1948) was an American lawyer, engineer and jurisconsult who was part of Venezuela's defense in the Paris Arbitration Award during the dispute over Guayana Esequiba.
After the death of Severo Mallet Prevost, his legal representative Otto Schöenrich made public in 1949, by express disposition of Prevost, a document written by Mallet Prevost himself in 1944, in which he considers that the Arbitral Award was a political compromise, the work of pressure against justice, a backroom compromise by which "three judges who had the majority disposed of the territory of Venezuela, because the two British judges were not acting as judges, but as men of the government, as lawyers". The document would confirm that Fedor Martens deliberately did not act as an impartial judge, was not guided by the principles of law and technical analysis of the evidence and even, according to the document, persuaded one of the parties to accept a proposal for a solution to the dispute that he himself had prepared, far from the same rules contained in the Arbitration Treaty of 1897 and the principles governing the law. This finding would expose a compromise that took place with respect to the decision of the Paris Arbitral Tribunal. The document would serve Venezuela as one of several elements to make a formal denunciation of the award before the world in 1962.
In 1962 Venezuela for the first time officially claimed as its own at the United Nations the territory located west of the Essequibo River, alleging defects of nullity and what is known in international law as acts contrary to good faith on the part of the British government, in addition to an alleged compromise by some of the members of the Paris Award.
This claim before the UN led to the Geneva agreement, which is the legal basis for the current Venezuelan claim.
The Geneva Agreement was signed between Venezuela and the United Kingdom (on behalf of its then British Guiana colony) in Geneva (Switzerland) on February 17, 1966. It is a transitory agreement to reach a definitive solution to the boundary dispute, many define it as "an agreement to reach an agreement" and although in the Venezuelan interpretation it invalidates the 1899 arbitration award, the status quo derived from it is maintained. Therefore, the area under claim is under the authority of the government of Guyana until something different is resolved in accordance with the treaty. The first article of the document recognizes Venezuela's contention that the decision of the tribunal that defined its border with British Guiana is null and void. By signing the document, the United Kingdom acknowledges Venezuela's claim and disagreement, thus agreeing to find a practical, peaceful and satisfactory solution for the parties.
When Great Britain decided to grant independence to British Guiana, within the Commonwealth, on May 26, 1966, denominating itself as Guyana, this would be a State Party, as established in Article 7 of the Geneva Agreement. Therefore, Guyana ratified the Geneva Agreement on the same day of its independence, thus recognizing the Venezuelan claim over the territory on the western margin of the Essequibo River.
This agreement being the basis that determines a disputed territory obliges Guyana not to give concessions to foreigners, but Guyana violated this tacit agreement placing Venezuela in a position of defending its rights over the territory, now President Irfaan of Guyana cannot play the victim when it was he who received money from foreign companies for his personal benefit and led Guyana to make a serious mistake by violating the Geneva agreement; the international community cannot force Venezuelans to stand idly by while Guyana and foreign companies literally abuse a territory yet to be determined;
Venezuelans have the right to take concrete actions to defend our sovereignty and rights in the archipelago. Latin America is witness to the excesses and abuses of England; for example, the Falklands and the Caribbean islands are a sample of the arbitrary way in which the British power even using pirates was stealing territory in the Caribbean, the island states that today make up the CARICOM were born from the theft and pillage of pirates financed by England.
Most of the conflicts of the modern world were inherited from the criminal actions of England, used to invade and steal territories from other countries, the conflicts in Arab countries, the conflict between Palestine and Israel, the conflict between China and Hong Kong, the racial conflict in South Africa, the confrontation between Pakistan and India, the internal conflicts in India, the conflicts within the former British colonies in Africa, including Sierra Leone, even the United States fought the English to expel them from North America.
Venezuela is a country of peace, but if Guyana continues to deny the right we have over the Essequibo we are ready to take up arms and defend our territorial heritage and the sovereignty of our nation even if the USA and Brazil intervene.
Venezuela siempre reclamó ese territorio... Incluso antes del descubrimiento de la industria petrolera...
@josueverneque6838 Os Venezuelanos nao sao vira latas paga pau de Yankee como vcs sabem da importancia do petroleo, enquanto isso o Brasil dando seus recursos naturais de mao beijada para os Imperialistas Yankees. Parabens ao Maduro que vai ter a Russia do seu lado para ajudar para desespero dos imperialistas. kkkk
O mais engraçado é esses gringo sem noção achando que Brazil ajudaria ou deixaria Venezuela fazer isso ou usar o territorio brasileiro kkkk, sério chega ser comico.

Remember that Guyana is a Former British Crowncolony. Guess what happens when Maduro pulls of a Gallitieri and invades. Let's just say the Empire strikes back
The video does not report anything about the status of Essequibo. First, it was a territory taken from Venezuela by the British Empire in the Paris award where Venezuela had no representation, considering them inferior. Venezuela recognizes Guyana as a country from the elusive river on the right and the left side is a disputed area. Since it is a disputed area, resources cannot be extracted from it, which Guyana did not care about and they granted designs to oil companies.
Thank you. But, note that whatever the Dutch controlled is what the British took over. Venezuela hadn't a permanent settlement at the time of the Dutch. For that reason the British initially claimed all the way to the Orinoco. But they settled for the present lines in the joint 1899 settlement.
The dutch didn't control past the esequibo either
Aka NYC
@Merluch the Spaniards hadn't a settlement. The natives of that land did not invite the Spaniards (they ran them off at every attempt to occupy the land). They did not see them as friendly people.
On the other hand, the Dutch had free passage to explore and do whatever they wanted all the way to the Orinoco.
@@pleasure-q7470
Incorrecto, pasó ser parte del Imperio Español entre 1948-1499 independientemente si hubo muchos asentamientos o no.
@@pleasure-q7470 anyone has passage to explore uncolonized land. It does not automatically make you the owner of that land though.
Guyana's new shape after annexation looks very similar to Vietnam's shape
I saw that.
Also keep on mind that they stole the region of Tigris in Suriname, they should give back that territory to Suriname also!!!
There is a difference between quietly supporting and ally and making an unpopular decision to let that ally move troops through your territory.
Presidential elections were held in Venezuela on 20 May 2018,[4] with incumbent Nicolás Maduro being declared re-elected for a second six-year term.[5] The original electoral date was scheduled for December 2018 but was subsequently pulled ahead to 22 April before being pushed back to 20 May.[6][7][8] **Some analysts described the poll as a sham election,[9][10] as many prominent opposition parties had been barred from participating in it**. The elections had the lowest voter turnout in Venezuela's democratic era.
Of course Russia's best friend in South America feels an urge to expand their territory because they thing that will solve their domestic problems. They are both autocracies without self-awareness but with major imperialistic ambitions.
Brazil is not an autocracy by any means. Bolsonaro was far closer to that, arresting lula for false charges, enforcing massive repression against the left, and lastly having his buddies try to overtrow lula when he was freed and he rightfully won.
To be totally fair here, Guyana is exploring oil in a contested region. They shouldn't do that either
@@FOLIPE but Guyana has all the rights and investments from Exon mobile.... meanwhile, Venezuela can't even get their own oil out of the ground due to lack of investment and terrible management. This is ablack and white issue.....Venezuela does not need these oil reserves in the contested area, but they do so to steal the investments other companies and countries have made.
the US doesn't have to start another war just because it is losing the other two it started. Starting more wars won't change the fact the US lost every war in the last 3 decades and American soldiers have the spine of a bowl of jelly
@@JK-qn9qrThey might have the right since it's disputed territory it's obvious that is raising the stakes of the conflict. This is just like turkey starting to drill oil in the bit of sea it disputes with Greece. It's provocative, one sided, and leads to an escalation of conflict. From the Venezuelan point of view it's their sea and their oil and now they'll start issuing their own licenses. Amazing for peace eh
We kept telling this would happen if russia isnt punished. Now everyone sees they can do this and meet only disapproval and stern finger waggling
Russia was punished but not enough, and it was mainly Western countries, sanctions are useless if you have non-Western countries supporting Russia, let's remember that these countries are increasingly important in political but also economic terms, especially China and India
you sure iran isnt at fault
Problem is, the US, European powers, do what they like and aren't punished. The source of this whole ordeal is... The British empire. Anyway, to strengthen rule of law it needs to apply to all, not just to your enemies
@@user-yt3xd2jl6deven those sanctions are hilariously bad.
Many people in the world supported the Russian back government that was overthrown by the people. They saw Madan or whatever a “nato coup” and the Russian separatists were being oppressed by the “nato dictator” and that Ukraine had it good before as Russia’s “little brother”.
They also believe that the former soviet Republics shouldn’t have joined nato, and now they are being brainwashed by the rest, etc etc etc.
Your hypocrisy needs to stop. Decades of US bullying much smaller countries and you keep pointing your fingers at Russia for playing the “American way”
