Neither option is consulting the indigenous people therein, Guyana because their opinions would obstruct the exploitation of oil, Venezuela bc they can’t survey ppl who aren’t Venezuelan (and if they take the land, they won’t because it would obstruct the exploitation of oil).

It’s just a choice of PDVSA vs Exxon

Idk is there like some militant Chavismo movement in Guyana that actually support joining Venezuela? Cuz I haven't heard it it.

Wasn’t intended that way, just laying out the situation
There was a native uprising that was accused of being funded by Venezuela.
Not familiar with that but I'd be curious to learn more
