I’m from Venezuela and our point of view is that Great Britain thinks they can get away with anything and did. But now Guyana is not part of Great Britain anymore. History, as we learned from school, is that the Esequibo region was taken from us, and all our maps showed the region cross-hatced and labeled ‘contested area’ or ‘zona en reclamación’

I’m sure there will be support by the general population in Venezuela since most think it is an area that belonged to us and was taken from us (from long before oil reserves were discovered in the region) So this can not be dismissed and should be taken seriously. It will be interesting to see how it will play out.

Ummm. I didn’t intend to disparage your husband. I am a bit amazed that was your interpretation of the post. I was being a bit tongue in cheek joke/jab about Russians being perceived as “boggiePerson”around the globe but definitely not related to you in any legal/religious contract/ceremony way. Since you read the entire comment as an insult or a personal attack against your husband, I will state that I wish the very best to your um um um, I guess just you. I’m sure there is a fine and patient gentlemam somewhere in a proximity that will now not be given a generic title. I will make no reference again to any possible significant person, children, pets, small farm animals … in relation to you.

Good evening.

“… by the general population in Venezuela ..”

You mean by the ones that haven’t come here, but the ones that support the Russians and Iranians and Cubans that support Maduro?

You are a Russian plant. Venezuela has Russian, Cuban and Iranian support. The economy there is failing, and Maduro’s masters think a war will distract the people from the awful economic conditions there.

So I am a plant, a Russian plant, for saying Venezuela isn’t Russia ? Odd. After several posters said this was Russia trying to start a war, I figured my geography was in dire need of a serious update. Wow, I learned that Russia isn’t a country in South America.

I don’t like Russia, Spent most of my career building weapons to use on them, China or some other dangerous adversary. However, most were used in Iraq to kill Saudi hijackers, Lydia to kill Syria or Saudi backed rebels and leave the country in a position to create more important new radical terrorists, force women back into their hefty bags, and my all time favorite effort in leaving equipment for ISIS Al-Qaeda/Muslim brotherhood.

However the reason Venezuela wants to screw around its neighbor are entirely different to Russia invading Ukraine. Understanding that difference appears to make me a Russian plant. Ok. You got me. Call the FIBs. Come get me. I’m sure after the J6, Catholics, home school moms, parents attending skool board meetings, then they will be right on me.

Why do you Ukrainian bots or anti-Russia bots assume everyone who doesn’t want to give 100s of billions to corrupt idiots are pro anything other than pro America?

Is it low IQ, propaganda, trying to be in the cool kid group …? I just don’t get it. You do know every time we send billions then Hunter Bidet gets millions + 10% for the big guy.

I am going to start using Pavlovian dog tactics and immediately claim everyone wanting to spend money we don’t have for a county we shouldn’t care about that you are all on Bidet Corp board of directors trying to get your bonuses.

Venezuela != Russia. They are two separate countries with separate governments with different reasons to be dicks.

What’s your reason to believe Venezuela is just Russia in a sombrero? Please enlighten me with your vast amount of bot language capabilities. Understand that I have been kicked off FR once for being too conservative when I refused to bow to Mittens Romney as our candidate for president. He was, is and will be the exact candidate that separates wheat from chaff. You vote for mittens? I’m did for 5 seconds and I’m still trying to get that taste out of my mouth using fine bourbon.

So go pizz up another rope but leave me alone. If you want to send money/treasures and ifLloyd Austin gets his way your sons (white sons) to die in Ukraine. Did anyone ever figure out how the secdef would be able to send boots on his own? He sure did make it sound like he had that authority.

Anyway go pizz off and look at a map of SA, Russia ain’t down there. The USA has had since 1990s to change the podium dweller in Venezuela but has done nothing. Yet they are Russia that invaded Ukraine in the 2020s or if you’re honest it goes back to 2014 and even before.

I will 100% agree with your statement “ Venezuela has Russian, Cuban and Iranian support. The economy there is failing, and Maduro’s masters think a war will distract the people from the awful economic conditions there.”. I think we may disagree on who the masters are.

So pizz off one last time.

There is no “dispute.” It’s just socialist greed.
