    Conflict Watch: Venezuela/Guyana Editions.

    Perun released a video on the current border crisis. Some brief takeaways are that Maduro could be motivated just as much by domestic concerns as international ones and that this is most likely just symbolic posturing. However he could perceive Guyana's economic growth as something to...

    Conflict Watch: Venezuela/Guyana Editions.

    Naval Analyst HI Sutton of Covert Shores did a video on the current status of Venezuela's Navy in light of the possibility of that Navy being used in any hypothetical attack or attempt to acquire the disputed Essequibo River region from Guyana. A maritime operation is being theorized as being...

    Emperor Tigerstar did a nice short video on the history of the territorial disputes regarding Guyana's Essequibo Region. It left out a lot of the recent and more politically motivated Venezuelan efforts in the 1960's-70's as well as under the Chavez and Maduro regimes but still a pretty good...

    Chavez earlier said the issue was settled but reversed himself towards the end of his reign (and life). The Guyanese Military is pretty small, like three thousand troops while Venezuela's military is 130,000 strong plus reserves and the militias/cartels. This is why Guyana is now courting...

    Well that's the thing. There are no major roads between Guyana and Venezuela. All of the roads that could lead from one to the other, go south through Brazilian state of Roraima where currently Venezuelan gangs and cartels are engaging in deadly criminal operations, much to the consternation of...

    In a shocking development, all five points of the popular referendum passed with 95% of voters expressing support in basically incorporating most of Guyana into Venezuela proper. Doesn't particularly change the situation beyond given Maduro the cover of a popular referendum if he does choose...

    There's rumors on the internets that fighting has already erupted in Guyana and Venezuela but the footage used is from Colombian anti-guerrilla campaigns and no Guyanese sources seem to be reported on it despite the fighting having erupted hours ago. Their newspapers would likely report their...

    The Venezuelan Military is pretty clowncar from everything I've heard but Guyana hasn't exactly been making an investment in warmongering thankfully so its military is actually quite small. Still any sort of military action in Latin America seems like it'd be frowned upon by almost everyone of...
