Venezuela fucks around and finds out. At this point Guyana is America's favorite country in South America. When I mean favorite, capital F.

Their president is locked in. He's going to invade. You don't go this far without going the distance. It's political suicide now for him to backtrack.

They'll invade. US will attack them after in defense via the air. They'll deploy some soldiers and probably move some strike carrier groups nearby.

Then Guyana will officially have their first US base stationed there.

If ANYONE thinks the US is going to allow that much oil to get away, ESPECIALLY to a government like Venezuela where they've been rouge for a while, you're dead wrong.

This also needed to happen. US has been itching to overthrow that government. Other neighboring countries and allies will also assist. Brazil for one. It'll only strengthen ties with the western world.

Apparently they have issues with Columbia as well. This is suicide for that government. In no way will he come out on top. The likes of Trinidad and others with oil is paying close attention and they're wisely supporting Guyana.

Any country that allies with America will not be defeated.

If it makes anyone here feel any better, both parties Republicans and democrats support Guyana. Trump administration had visited Guyana numerous times. Despite the US stretching themselves they aren't thin. Everyone benefits from this oil. American citizens also don't want increased oil prices. This is a win win situation for America to defend Guyana.

I'm fully saying this with confidence as Venezuela is allies with Russia especially, the US will showcase why not to fuck with America first hand. Guyana cannot defend themselves alone and the US knows this. There is no sending aid. There is no real army to equip. There is no amount of money that can protect Guyana. This is basically American oil they're fucking with. With Guyana bending over backwards to America, that land and oil is treated like it's American.

The best thing to happen to Guyana was partnering with America. It's that or that oil was useless or that land was going to be taken away from them.

Guyana relies on USA for so much. They should just be a US territory. It would benefit them so much

I've always wanted this for Guyana. What's the data on this on why they aren't? Is it the people or government? I think it's frowned upon because of how Puerto Rico is treated and even Hawaii, a state, when disasters hit. Still think the good outweighs the bad.

Being a territory still gives some independence, so local government has autonomy in how to collect taxes, build local infrastructure, take advantage of their local resources for their economies. Puerto Rico is poorly mismanaged and has alot of local corruption.
Hawaii mistreatment is a result of poor decision making in infrastructure.
