POWDER KEG AMERICA: Maduro Signs Into Law Referendum Claiming Essequibo, Guyana as Part of Venezuela, Says Guyana Is Governed by...
Tensions are bound to rise in South America, as the dispute between Guyana and Venezuela for the oil-rich Essequibo region appears headed for some serious escalation.
I doubt there are secret US military bases there (I'll be shocked if its true). Maduro is after the massive oil reserves of the coast of the Essequibo region. It's said that those oil reserves would make Guyana the Saudi Arabia of South America.
The Essequibo region is also very remote (mostly jungle). Perfect place for a secret military base but given the context of the oil reserves in the region, Venezuela is looking for any excuse to take over that region. The claim of secret US military bases in Essequibo is the equivalent of WMDs in Iraq.
Don't be surprised if conflict breaks out. I just hope Trump is in office when the conflict breaks out. I would love to make a deal with Guyana for access to those oil reserves in return for military aid/defense.
I am thinking more of You Know the Agency.
France24 reported:
“‘We have information proving that in the territory of Guyana Essequibo, temporarily administered by Guyana, secret military bases of the (US) Southern Command… a body of the CIA, have been installed’, Maduro said.
He said the bases are an ‘aggression’ against the people of southern and eastern Venezuela and were built ‘to prepare for an escalation against Venezuela’.”
Mil is there looking over our oilmen.
