The United States said it will carry out military flights in Guyana on Thursday in a joint operation as the South American country faces soaring tensions with neighboring Venezuela over a contested oil-rich region.

"In collaboration with the Guyana Defence Force, the U.S. Southern Command will conduct flight operations within Guyana on December 7," the American embassy in Guyana said in a statement, noting the flights are part of "routine engagement" to enhance a security partnership between the two countries.

How are you doing? I hadn’t seen you around for a while and was genuinely concerned.

“The free flow of oil is in the US National interest.”

This is true.

“This has absolutely nothing to do with commies, or right and wrong.”

This has a lot to do with commies. Venezuela is under sanction by the US and other countries because the commie regime expropriated numerous foreign assets without compensation. You may recall that this isn’t the first time that Venezuela’s commie regime has threatened war in the name of seizing someone else’s property (just like their commie friends in Moscow).

They threatened to invade and annex Aruba and in return the US promised that we’d honor Article V if Netherlands asked for it.

Venezuela has an hostile regime and the proper response to them is hostility. That’s the only language such regimes ever understand be they Maduro, Putin, or Hamas.

Sure you were, just as you are concerned about our nation.

What was it you said about the massive invasion of our country?

Something to the affect that they are merely seeking to better themselves, if I remember correctly?

You are clueless, and now you are blatantly lying.

Does the Roosevelt Corollary apply here?

I had to look that one up lol but yes it could be applied here. Especially since it’s American oil companies who are currently extracting Guyana’s oil and we aren’t about to let Maduro take those fields over. Maduro must know this but perhaps China and Russia are encouraging him to do this anyway.

“US Holds Military Exercises In Guyana As Border Tensions Soar”

When one considers that the White House is in full campaign mode at this point, and that the Neocon War in Ukraine is finally winding down with Biden’s people getting BADLY spanked, it does make sense to go beat up on a Third World country that our military can likely defeat, Venezuela, particularly when Maduro actually gave them justification, and thus be able to show at least one foreign policy achievement for the voters.

If we don’t stop them at the Guyana border they will go all the way to Argentina.

Or Quebec.

I’ll tell you what could go wrong. In the heat of engagement with the enemy some new recruits might mis-gender another soldier and distract a unit from the actual enemy.

Nothing harder than leading demoralized troops.

Now you really have me confused with someone else. I’ve posted that I’d be happy with minefields and gun towers on our borders...both of them.

A border feud has recently spiraled over the oil-rich Essequibo region, controlled by Guyana for more than a century but which Venezuela also claims and has voiced intent to take over.

The long-running dispute over Essequibo, which comprises some two-thirds of Guyanese territory, has intensified since ExxonMobil discovered oil there in 2015.

We do have some national security interest, since Venezuela is sending gazillions of its people across our southern border.

Plus, we shouldn't let any more oil reserves fall into communist control.

No, it was definitely you. While I can’t remember your answer verbatim, I do remember that it was a flippant answer. Have you ever suffered from a stroke? Did you have several mRNA jabs?

I have never, not once, not ever supported illegal immigration. Not here, not anywhere.

And despite your bitterness I will still pray for your wellbeing.

Don’t bother. I do not want or need anything from a dishonest person. You dd give a flippant answer when I asked you about the invasion along our border, stating that you show far more concern about Ukraine that you do your own country.

Learn how you are helping the forces who want to destroy humanity, while not even realizing that you are doing so.

I'm trying to wake you up, but you refuse to see that reality by supporting this war with evil intentions

If you do not wake up & fight back, humanity will be lost. Pray for your children & family & ask the Lord to see the real evil that has far more power than Putin could even imagine having. As they have demonized Trump, they are also demonizing Putin. Putin is no saint, just as Trump is no saint But they are forces who are willing to take on the evil. Right now you are supporting the evil. Ask the Lord to help you see the true evil.
