    China, Russia, and Nicaragua supporting Venezuela just because they're bad and bad people all work together like thanos

    leave it to redditors to presumably-intentionally-homophobically misspell the name of the country they're trying to support 🤦

    also, they're imagining a 7 month war, and Lula sending troops to fight for Exxon?

      Brazil has historically treated Guyana as a satrap of its own regional control. And there's a very real possibility that the Brazilian military dictates the terms to Lula, as they've already had their share of coups. So its more an Exxon-affiliated military commander working on behalf of Western economic interests to undercut Maduro's influence in their zone.

      I also really don't think Venezuelans are interested in open war with a much larger and richer neighbor, for precisely the same reasons a lot of Ukrainians had no interest in fucking with Russia. Setting aside the ideological politics of the area, this would be a bloodbath for all involved and would undercut any hope of a unified Latin America. The divide-and-conquer imperialist strategy is the biggest weapon westerners have on their side when dealing with the Global South.

      A single, unified South America would operate as a counterweight on par with the US, China, and Russia. These border wars are essential in keeping that future from happening.

      The extended bit where he would sneak into parliament by climbing the fence, then get thrown out really adds legitimacy

    Its very weird to think that China and Russia would ally with Venezuela over a border dispute in Guyana. Although, huge points for name-checking Juan Guaido as a military commander.

      It's equally weird to think Brazil would get involved, let alone on the same side as the US.

        Brazil has strong relations with Guyana and they co-operate on some things, so it’s not that impossible. Still very unlikely

    Bannon is going hard in the paint for military intervention, so the trumpies have the pump primed if nothing else.

    Around now is the time a biblical prophet would start using future tense to describe the horrors the CIA is going to inflict after trump gets re-elected

      Yanks assume that reality is like a video game where the goal is world conquest. Therefore every other big nation is just as power hungry and bloodthirsty as theirs.
