Dictatorships and possibly staring stupid wars, what else is new?
Submission Statement: Vennezula is holding an election in neighboring Guyana. to elect representives and a governor of territory it claims but does not control. the suspected reason is to draw the military closer to maduro after the overwhelmingly backed his opponent in the last election. a major threat for the dictator. guyana has announced it will arrest anyone participating in this election and charge them with treason.
They do this often its just tallying nationalistic sentiment
IMO: Guyana really isn’t at risk here, the vennezulan army isn’t all that big and guyana can count on america intervening given trumps personal dislike for maduro, the guyanese lobby in washington, and the fact that guyana has turned into a major oil producer and does a lot of dealing with us companies. guyana also has a nacent statehood movement due to 40% of ethnic guyanans living in the us.
It seems that Maduro wants to follow the same path that took Saddam Hussein.
there is not a single road between Guyana and Venezuela only miles of jungle and an unnavigable river.
