    Pretty sure there's violence involved in a ground invasion even when America's not involved.

    So what the people of Guyana deserve to be invaded because their government sells oil to ExxonMobil?

    Like if the argument is just "this is fine because it's a socialist country doing imperialism against a country that sells to ExxonMobil" fine, but the outcome of that decision is immediatly obvious and is going to make life worse for everybody in Guyama and then everybody in Venezuela when they predictably get sanctioned back to the stone age with am actual inciting incident for every country in the world to point to.

    I've always supported venezuala and Maduro in particular but I don't see any outcome that this doesn't result in life being worse of for everybody except americ and thenoil companies.

      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.
