1/ Guyana is about to lose 60% of its territory, and there is nothing we can do about it, but it certainly will affect us.

First, there was a huge offshore oil discovery in Guyana's Essequibo region. That's the entire western half of the country.

2/ In September, China upgraded its relationship with Venezuela. Venezuela has long had Russian and Iranian military advisors embedded in its military.
One month ago, the United States started rolling back sanctions imposed on Venezuela by Trump.

3/This opened the money spigot into Venezuela. What did we get in exchange? A promise that there would be democratic elections at some point in the future -- as if Maduro would give up power.

4/Not six weeks after the USA eased its sanctions, Venezuela is making noise that 60% of Guyana belongs to them, including this new oil discovery. Guyana has no military to speak of. And the American government is preparing you to accept this upcoming invasion.

5/The graphics below: On the left, you have Google Maps, which all of a sudden is dutifully drawing new borders. On the right, Bing maps, which does not seem to have gotten the regime memo.
So what's this all mean?

6/We're now bogged down financially in Ukraine and Israel, and now we find Russia, China, and Iran supporting a hostile nation gearing up to invade a friendly one. And it isn't just a symbolic invasion, it will put all these oil reserves under Maduro control.

7/Google, which may as well be a fully owned subsidiary of the US intelligence services, has started conditioning us to see the border where, apparently, the regime has either decided it wants it moved, or where it has at least conceded that it will go.

8/Start watching "news" from regime media - you'll start seeing more conditioning of what they want you to think about this. My guess would be that there will be a newly-discovered "indigenous movement" in Guyana, which will claim that 60% of the country should be "independent."

9/Venezuela will back that "indigenous movement" and then de-facto annex the region.

10/Do I think the Biden regime is pleased with this? Unlikely. I suspect more that they simply realize that we're going to collapse if we try and get involved in another conflict.

11/This one would need to be direct military involvement, since Guyana doesn't have a real military that we can simply dump money into. Our military is anemic right now and in no way prepared to get involved in a jungle war in South America.

Wouldn't wanna chip a nail...

12/x So what's there to do? Start moving money around and lay back and let this happen. Convince the American people that this is what they want, rather than this being a disastrous result of the United States' loss of ability to project power even in its own back yard.
