    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

      Guyana just gave their natural resources away to Exxon, in my understanding not to the benefit of its people
