| 2024-02-15 |
| [DefensePost] Guyana has announced a major investment in modern military weapons and equipment as tensions with neighboring Venezuela continue to soar. In December last year, the two sides signed a Brazil-brokered agreement stating they would never use force and would refrain from threatening each other. However, allegations [actually satellite imagery shows it clearly] have surfaced that the Venezuelan military is on the move again, expanding its bases and deploying more soldiers near its border with Guyana.

| #2 Guyana is a member of the Commonwealth but the days of Lady Thatcher are distant memory. The US has only dusty briefing books somewhere in the Pentagon basement to remind them, if they looked, about the idea of "our hemisphere" and some guy named Monroe. Venezuela has a stiffening array of Cuban and Nicaraguan allies, especially in the intelligence and internal security augmentations, that might make a go of the complex logistics and engineering ops needed to annex the western half of the country militarily. Fortunately, they have recently gotten a cash infusion from the foggy bottom morons in Washington. |
