Weekend Watch: Why Venezuela is Preparing to Conquer Guyana
This video from YouTube channel RealLifeLore is the best explanation yet for why Venezuela is preparing to Conquer Guyana.
What’s really interesting are the North Dakota and Alberta/Canadian connections. As Venezuelan heavy crude production soared, US Gulf Coast refineries tooled up to handle it. But as their government essentially destroyed their economy, combined with US sanctions, the Canadian oilsands, and maybe, too, the Lloydminster region, benefitted by replacing that oil with our own..
This cannot be allowed. The absolute best rums come from Guyana. Essential rum production in the Demerera basin will be all but shut down !!
Won’t someone please think of the drunks !!!!!!
As a once rum drinker, I weep. MERRY CHRISTMAS.
Greens are commies. Destroying the US FFI suits their purposes.
Remember, They are against fossil fuels, not necessarily, all the other petroleum products.
Notice that — with the Biden, Harris, Blinken team — tyrants simply invade and help themselves to smaller countries’ territories. Taiwan is next.
Well, this is what you get when you have a weak president in the White House. That, combined with a Uni-party that lives and dies by cronyism with the defense contractor apparatus is a recipe for…well….this.
Like him or hate him, Trump was the first president in a very long time that didn’t start any new conflicts. Biden, on the other hand…Clinton on the other hand…Obama on the other hand…. Bush 1.0 and Bush 2.0 on the other hand…
It can be said that Hitler had to invade Poland in 1939 because the Nazi’s had run out of free scht to gift upon the German people.. This is true.. They call it resources or living space but the fact is Germany was heading for decline with Hitler in charge.. They went to war and all of Germany cried tears of joy that the free scht will continue, no matter the cost..
Peek a boo.. Hitler didn’t switch the economy over to total war until late 1942 after the defeat in Stalingrad.. 80% of the economy was pumping out consumer goods.. The warmonger was more worried about toaster ovens than tanks.. This is explained away as some master race flaw but we all know Hitler was socialisms mac daddy.. BTW the tears were real..
Oh well live and learn and do it all over again..
Herman Goering was appointed Economic Tsar in 1934. Declaring Germany aurtarkic economy.
Massive 1930’s war production pulled scarce labor out of farming( for some reason, 15 years after the slaughter of WW1, Germany had a male labor shortage. )
Hitler was told that German Military might not be ready until the 1970’s. No matter, by ’38 the economy was on the verge of collapse, Germany have no money, or credit, to import foodstuffs, military ores, fuels etc. Hitler couldn’t wait, so he acquired the old fashion way, he stole it. Allied soldiers in 1944 remarked how better fed the German citizens were than compared to French, Dutch, etc.
Not sure why the US needs to get involved in this dispute. Isn’t the UN supposed to prevent wars such as this?
The UN is useless but this is a local matter with no real impact on the rest of the world. At least getting Saddam out of Kuwait had some strategic sense as he could have gone on to Saudi Arabia after that. An giving one country that many oil reserves would be a problem. That said, I don’t think it would be hard to slap down Venezuela. But there enough wars going on already.
Bucky, “Isn’t the UN supposed to prevent wars such as this?” Ha!
Sorry, they’re too busy plotting with the WEF to turn us all back to Serfdom and slavery. Maybe NATO could help….no wait…..
One cruise missile down Maduro’s throat would fix this.
The US need only give unplausible deniability.
Walk softly, carry a big stick and sometimes shove it up somebody’s ass.
Whether you like him or not, Trump did exactly that.
The UN is useless but this is a local matter with no real impact on the rest of the world. At least getting Saddam out of Kuwait had some strategic sense as he could have gone on to Saudi Arabia after that. But it’s all moot. The vegetable-in-chief as at the helm. He can’t even organize any defense of the most vital shipping corridor in the world. One thing the US Navy was designed to do and Brandon has failed utterly.
I wonder how many “Canadians” will return if the crap hits the fan.
The nation of Venezuela and its race of people whose decades long, failed political, economic, and financial organization cannot even feed itself is attempting to invade its next door neighbor.
The fact that it is 35 times the population of the country that it is preparing to declare war on and invade means that Guyana would be well within its rights to create chemical and biological weapons to use against Venezuela and wipe out its population.
A country with a population of people so bloody stupid,….filled to the brim with resources and riches and cant even feed itself and wants to start a war,is a country that deserves physical annihilation.
Maggie Thatcher once said “the problem with socialism is you eventually run out of other people’s money”. Venezuela has reached that point so they need another source of other people’s money from outside their border.
I guess drafting all the malcontents left in Venezuela and throwing them at a foreign entity in the hopes of some ROI is one solution to domestic strife. I wonder where Maduro learned that trick?
A knockout drag down cage match between Venezuela and Brazil could be interesting.
BTW. There is no direct road between Venezuela and Guyana.
From Caracas to Georgetown is 2,400klm and a good part runs through Brazil.
Coastal Venezuela/Guyana is impenetrable swamp.
Evidently most here were too focused on the Venezuela, Guyana topic to realize the importance of what was in the video of electrical consumption, I’d suggest you go back and look at it again and realize how far down the rabbithole our politicians have forced us. A few choice statements about the wars that have destroyed the Arab countries should be looked at Yemen and Syria respectfully. Where was the outrage when Arab countries are bent on destroying each other, crickets, but should Israel deploy forces. well that is a horse of a different colour, isn’t it. Then we get back to the old saw that the Jews are responsible for everything. I don’t think the Jews had much to do with building the cities in the Arab world, but I’ll leave that up to the “Just Stop Oil” and other Greenie groups to work out.
How about an East vs. West war in Canada?
That might be worth showing up for..
Venezuela should be producing +5 million barrels/day and is not, and nowhere close to that, because of what’s occurred there since the PDVSA strike a few years after Chavez won the presidency. They haven’t recovered in these 20 years because socialism doesn’t work that way. The brains behind the PDVSA oil operation, Schlumberger, Baker Hughs, and Halliburton? weren’t paid by the gov’t of Venezuela, so they left.
If Venezuela were to annex or steal Guyana, they still wouldn’t be accessing the oil to any great degree there, as they don’t have the expertise which likes to be paid on time. In the past decade Venezuela borrowed from the Chinese markets, if they were selling more oil, they’d be able to buy more things for their country but I doubt they care about that, at least not enough to pay those who could bring that influx of cash from new oil sales.
Note when seeing how great Venezuela’s reserves are. OPEC allows its oil producers to export oil based upon how great the reserves of each individual country says it has. If Venezuela was exporting at its actually capacity and wanted to export more, they could simply say they’ve found another few billion barrels in reserve, and then export based upon that number.
I think the most likely reason for Venezuela eyeing Guyana’s oil and territory, is that communist Maduro is behind in internal polling, and he’d like a bit of foreign war to galvanise support for his cause. This has worked in the past at least 1000 times.
Next Venezuelan federal election will be early Dec. 2024. I was there during the winter of 2006, everywhere I looked was painted red and names written on cars with white shoe polish. uff, the process there lasts most of the year.

Note to the above video from Brian Z’s link, CNE who oversees elections in Venezuela allowed +60000 people who were over 120 years old and all had similar birthdays. (1st of the month for example) to vote.
CNE gives all electronic voting machines a bad name….
Alec Boyd, a journalist there at the time had published all his findings at his website. I’m not linking as a comment with 2 links gets caught in the filter.
