Via a law announced Tuesday, Venezuela will create a new province or state in the disputed territory, having already appointed a single provisional authority: Major-General Alexis Rodríguez Cabello
Any reason it's not imperialism to invade a neighboring country to take their natural resources by force to benefit your country or is it literally "it's not imperialism when a country I like does it"
imperialism is not "when a country violates a border", it's the highest stage of capitalism
and it isn't even guyana's territory under international law anyway, if you're going to call this an "invasion" you should also call guyana using the ICJ to unilaterally win the dispute as stealing
The country of Guyana has less of a connection to Guyana than Venezuala?
Is there any reason this exact same argument couldn't be used as justification for America to invade Alberta? It's largely undeveloped tundra with no real connection to Canada.
Like if you just want to say "it's good because it's a socialist country doing imperialism" fine I guess but seems like the dick slapping that's going to come as a result of that is pretty predictable and easily avoided.
There's been many invasions which have had minimal bloodshed, some tanks and infantry here and without a fight suddenly this land's annexed; if the US isn't willing to defend it's puppet then who cares. Clearly it would be if this was all over the news like it would normally be, but no, it's not all over the news, so the US is by all likelihood not going to do anything because it's already bogged down enough. It's not good or bad, this is simply just political maneuvering and the culmination of a history I will admit I don't and you clearly don't understand. Testing every global south liberation project for purity is meaningless and unhelpful, and showing your whole ass by equivocating nearly a hundred years of American sponsored global terror with what appears to be a bloodless landgrab does nothing except show you don't trust nor understand those who are in global south liberation projects.
I don't know if it's good or bad, but I know me caring won't matter, and I understand that socialist projects aren't perfect in the real world.
Why is imperialism good when Venezuela does it?
Is Guyana like some fascists puppet state pr something, weird to see people acting like them getting invaded for oil is fine.
It's not imperialism
Yes, they are a puppet state of America

Guyana just gave their natural resources away to Exxon, in my understanding not to the benefit of its people
Guyana's an Exxon colony and this territory is largely undeveloped jungle with very little connection to Guyana
