      Ok but they literally don't. You can argue there's soft involvement through ExxonMobil but this isn't directly opposing some specific American policy.

      They're clearly gonna use this to get directly involved and make things way worse for venezuala and it's gonna be really really easy for them to point to this as justification for literally directly taking over any oil fields in contention.

              Lmao ok you're right, this is a good idea that will work out well for venezuala with no repurcussions and America deffinitly will not use this as an excuse to be more antagonistic. After all they're already doing everything they can to be completely involved.

              I thought I had a good point but then you depicted me as a smug emoji so obviously you've won.

            We just had the USA try to offer concessions to get Venezuelan oil after their bungled Ukrainian war caused intense shortages after 2 decades of trying to get their oil colony, Venezuela, back and now they magically aren't involved in turning their neighbor into an oil colony in contested territory. Think critically fr

        soft involvement through ExxonMobil

        I wouldn't call influencing the ICJ to steal disputed territory from a country and then threatening intervention if they defend themselves "soft"

        The US attacks and sanctions on VZ are all in our heads apparently. They have no interest in the region according to you.

          I guess I missed the part where Guyana was the one that imposed those sanctions.
