US announces military drills with Guyana following tensions with Venezuela | DW News

- The US says it will conduct joint military flight drills in Guyana, as tensions rise with neighbouring Venezuela over territorial claims. Washington says the exercises are routine but reiterated what it called its unwavering support for Guyana's sovereignty. Venezuala has described the drills as a "provocation". Last weekend, it held a referendum aimed at reaffirming its territorial claim to the oil-rich Essequibo region.
Speaking at the Merco-SUR summit of South American nations, Brazilian President Luiz Inacio Lula da Silva expressed his concern about the deepening dispute. Brazil shares a border with both Venezuela and Guyana.

During 1995 to 2022, Guyana’s average inflation rate was 4.7% per year - this year Venezuela’s is 359%.
Americans are feeding lots of mouths worldwide. Venezuela can even feed its nation mouths.Look at when they reach columbia, their first is like whole day meal. He starving Venezuelans and he living a like of a king
@AmericanTraitors-GOP OMFG stop....lol
That's socialism for you. They suck all the national revenue out of the country and the political elite live like Kings, then after they have sucked the country dry the invade another country to repeat the process.
@AmericanTraitors-GOPGood one 😂
@MikeJones50911 I think he is passively stating the money did not go to national medical care because it went to weapons of war that Venezuela cannot compare.
Or passive insult that due to Venezuela was overspending on social systems for civilians it became unsustainable when the national wealth started to run down and lack of investment in capital tangible potential.
Kinda ironic that people expect the US to continue to be the world police while at the same time hating and resenting them.
USA made Venezuela poor. It should defend Guyana.
@@digitalbath6057 Maduro made it poor.

The question is not whether the US can stop Venezuela from invading Guyana. The US has the most powerful military in human history and Venezuela can’t even keep its oil extraction infrastructure functioning. The question is whether the US will choose to intervene.
Vietnam
That's why USA stopped financing Israel and Ukraine? Their bigger allies??
@danielpedra9196 Venezuela wishes it was Vietnam lmao
@danielpedra9196 poor example with no parallels
Vietnam was an offensive war on the other side of the planet with the 2nd strongest power supplying and arming the Vietnamese, even then, the war wasn't lost militarily but at home as nobody supported the war. Literally just look at the losses on vietnams side and how many battles they actually won
If the US was involved in this war, it would be a defensive war, Venezuela wouldn't be receiving aid from anyone, and the public support at home will be high due to the nature of defensive wars.
Armchair generals love using vietnam and Afghanistan as examples of "US wEaK" but know nothing of the actual wars
And they should intervene on behalf of Guyana and ExxonMobil
Specially considering that their previous political figures (specially Teller) created this mess in the long term by not annexing Cuba after it was won against the Spanish by THEM and not the Cubans
If that were the case, There would be no need for supporting Batista since Cuba would be already theirs to begin with. And in turn the Castro Brothers wouldn't have never rose to power which in turn means that Chávez would have never rose to power which also means that Maduro never rose to power
God bless my homeland, Guyana. 🇬🇾
do you live in Essequibo?
Blessings from 🇯🇲
I hope America can send a harder lesson to Venezuela than we have Russia if they choose to invade. I believe this happened because of our inability to quell Russias ambitions.
@Nobolino 2nd state of what? 100 years ago, international law settled this. This is a case of greed over oil fields. Iraq found out what happened in Kuwait. Venezuela can find out too.

We Brazil are sending a strong message. But their enemy is not us, the oil they are claiming belongs to American companies.
To be in a state of war so he can call off the elections. It does not need to be a full blown war as he would obviously be crushed, it could be small conflicts in the border.
Let’s hope is more talk by Venezuela than actual action. End goal could be to distract & unify.
A “vested interest” yes but enough to fight and die? I doubt it. Just temporary sanctions.
He’s doing it for Putin and xi
One simple explanation: Mr. Nicholas Maduro is greedy and he wants Venezuelans to feel greedy like himself too. Mental sickness. My apology for the inconvenience. 🙏
War is terrible but in a way, Maduro daring the US like this might end up being his fall and that's definitely good
Greedy indeed

Nope, he has been pushed by Iran and Russia who work tighly together on international relation when it comes to USA and play with their attention. Truth is you have no idea what's in Maduro's head.
As a Venezuelan, I feel a profound shame for the men who ruling our country right now. He is nothing else but a criminal who should sit in jail. I apologize to the guyanese people

But the majority of your people voted to give him the greenlight to seize those lands. If the Venezuelan civilians than suffer the consequences of war, you will not get much global sympathy.
10% of Venezuelans actually went to vote! @@huaiwei
@@larissamello374 I hope that is true. The government will of course never disclose the true number, but global media talks more about the "95% support" than the participation rate.

Stand strong Guyana 🇬🇾
America and England hardly touch Venezuela to fully exploit its oil. In this way, he exchanges weapons and oil in Guyana. My advice is to stay away from America and England and look for another path. Because they definitely want you to conflict and don't care about people.
I'm glad the US is showing its teeth.
I hope it is enough to prevent a war that no one needs.
The Caribbean and Central/South America is in the backyard of the USA. It is in the USA interest to stop any off that happening near their border. Russia is supporting Venezuela and anytime Russsia comes near the USA, they will take action. Remember Cuba and the Soviet Union. The USA did not like that. Anything happening in the Americas, the USA will get involved, they don’t care if your country is a sovereign nation or not!!
Sadly Biden usually can’t find his teeth
Showing its teeth? That's all it can do. When was the last time The Yankee Empire won a war?
showing teeth because it wants to hold on to the oil
USA wants to steal oil, that's why its showing teeth, but its gonna end up with teeth broken soon.
Venezuela says it is a provocation ? It is they who are talking about invading Guyana and stealing their territory. Sometimes bullies find out there is somebody who will fight back and won’t be bullied and let others be bullied. If Venezuela continues on this path they will find out the hard and costly way.
El Esequibo siempre a sido Venezolano, aún que te cueste aceptarlo.
guyana are the ones who are invading us, the esequibo belong to venezuela and the proof are in the land titles that we have and guyana doesnt.
@@destyne1902 "has always been" reality would state that is incorrect. You don't need to invade something that is currently yours. This is just common sense.

It's always a matter of time before a dictator flexs his muscles. This was inevitable, and it's more about pride than oil.
Just like back then with the Falkland-War. It led to the downfall of the military-regime in Argentina.
It just shows how we have all the wrong priorities. We wasted hundreds of billions propping up Ukraine which isn't anywhere near us and doesn't matter to us strategically. But we do nothing about a two bit dictator in our own backyard who we can crush in a second without breaking a sweat. I guess we would rather fight nations with million man armies, unlimited resources and thousands of nuclear weapons and just ignore everything south of the border. I guess it makes sense Biden care's more about Ukraine's border than ours so I guess he's just going to let them take Guyana and do nothing. We just chose all the wrong battles to fight and ignore the most important things that really matter like our own border and having stability and peace in South America.
madura is so popular in Venezuala he got 110% of the vote, peoples parents where jumping out of the grave to vote.
Just like Biden 😂
Lol
This happened in Russia, where they literally discovered the names of insane asylum inhabitants on ballots, along with those of long-deceased individuals, whose addresses were listed as a state graveyard in Moscow.
Yeah, and there's a lot of them who starved to death because the Socialist government wouldn't allow relief aid into their country because it's illegal to say there was a food shortage. I guess they really love the massive inflation and low living standards. Maybe having people like that in the US isn't such a good thing after all.
Exxon owns Guyana. There is no way the US will ever let Venezuela mess with their new gas station.
I hope not for the gas station's sake.
@@shadowreaver1851that's the US plan..always has been
Venezuela already has a big economic problem since Maduro took power wouldnt this be costly to them?
Most likely doing this for words for next election
They are invading another country to export poverty
True
In 90 Iraq was poor and in debt to the USSR, so it invaded Kuwait, which it claimed was part of Iraq .
Same thing, but Venezuela is in debt to China and gives oil to China as payment.
Lol. If they weren’t paying the military enough to fight, he wouldn’t be in power.
That is rule #1.
Prayers for our country Guyana 🇬🇾 we never had war here and Madura is just wicked to start this because of our oil. This matter was settled since 1899.
Also 5 of our soldiers died near the border😢😢😢If it wasn't for Madura they would have been alive😢
Maduro is a dictator to his own people, Because of oil, he wants to invade Guyana.And my T&T government wants to do business with dictators. My prime minister and Maduro are good friends What will happen to T&T we're watching and waiting. Millions of Venezuelans flee from their country because of Maduro.
I am so devastated 😢with this development. My beautiful country is not accustomed to this. My deepest condolences to the families of those soldiers.
Europe stands with Guyana. Maduro is trying to divert attention from his failing internal policies. War is a cowardly escape from the problems of peace.

The US WANT the war so they can control the region

British have drawn up borders in many places, so have the Spanish. You can't revive historic disputes to change the status quo of current borders. True owners of these lands are the indigenous Amerindian peoples. They never had a say in this. River as a boundary was only an idea of a Spaniard. They never settled in the region. If this guy invades he should suffer the same fate as Saddam Hussain when he invaded Kuwait.
what happened to bush when he invaded iraq?
America is still being blamed and attacked by the international community for intervening with Sadam. We are tired of intervening and dying to protect global trade and security for zero gratitude
I agree however that being said Bush lied to the American people aboud WMD and sent 5000 American soldiers and millions of Iraqis to their deaths
Historic dispute? It was never settled, and it started just after Venezuela gained its independence! Since the fraudulent ruling of Great Britain, Venezuela has ALWAYS endorsed her ownership of the Esequibo, responding to the intention of robbing the land in 1903... How racist can your worldview be, when you say "the British and the Spaniatrs have drawn borders, yada yada, the people who fought for the land and died for it have no say if we decided to steal it for our exploitation". You suppose that the Venezuelans should simply stay arms crossed, while the US uses Guyana as a platform to exploit the region's resources?
UK can n why China cannot??? 2X std again
God bless 🇬🇾.
I'm pretty sure the US gov is concerned for the safety of Guayana and this is not, in any possible way, for protecting EXXON's contracts for oil drilling
Go cry quietly, dreamer.
Countries have interests, name one that doesn't
Still doesn't justify invading a sovereign country. America has relations and is evil. So it must be a liberation.
And I’m sure when Guyana of all the oil companies that wanted the area including Colombian and Brazilian choose ExxonMobil they were thinking about the whole package!
If they intervene, it is because of EXXONMOBIL. Not Guyana's people. All American war has always been protecting its corporations.
Venezuela can’t bear 24 hours of onslaught of US forces…
Why are they weaker than hamas
And he won’t. Putin has probably taught him how he annexed Crimea. He just want to be in a state of war so he cal call off elections.

@@Bk1917 At this point, probably. Maduro needs most of his troops to keep his people from overthrowing him.

The Maduro regime has only a small amount of support left. They survive because the Cuban dictator sent thousands of his agents to play inquisitor in Venezuela and they use a lot of violence and cruelty.
The moment he starts a war and the stakes are real, the last officers will desert the regime.
with oil being low, Maduro barely has food for his military .
And us in America got homeless people living on the streets.
thats why Russia is trying to tell OPEC to cut oil supply so oil prices will go up.
@ChrisBryant-uo1cb what does this topic lines up with this crisis???

Exactly if he does invade Guyana this will be end of Maduro. Venezuelan military won’t support Maduro once bombs start dropping from US.

England already has multiple strategic bases in Guyana. If Venezuela does invade Guyana, the US will get involved to help the British. Besides, everybody wants oil to be protective from dictators.
USA and Britsh needs to mind their own business and stay in their own country.
Would Britain come fight and die for less then a million South Americans? Their government already has shown disdain for immigrants
@@tnnsboy18 No venezuela needs to mind its our business and leave guyana land alone. Essiquibo belong to guyana.
True. Honestly though, Venezuelan oil is over hyped. Yeah they have massive reserves, but it costs ten times as much to refine a barrel of Venezuelan crude, compared to Gulf states. In other words, it's not "war worthy" oil lol.
still, none of your business...@@randysingh6548
I am struggling to come up with a scenario where this whole show works out in Maduro's favour. The only way that can happen is if he wins a swift and total victory, which hinges on UK and US staying away. Unlikely. In every other scenario, it is likely to lead to his downfall, sooner or later. So a question arises: is he in his right senses? Is he being deliberately fed wrong advice? Or being blackmailed?
First thing he did after mobilisation is started jailing opposition. Like in North Korea, you don't need to actually fight war, but to be in perpetual state of it, allowing to rally citizens under your banners pretty much forever.
I’d say it’s unlikely that US UK get involved outside of sanctions.
Easy win for Maduro Guyana only has like 5000 people in the entire military.
It could easily lead to a Kuwait scenario where an international coalition steps in and then topples Maduro. He mightve been encouraged by Russias actions in Ukraine but since there are no nuclear warheads involved, this is a completely different situation.
It’s posturing for domestic audience, the country is becoming a failed socialist state and its leader is trying to divert domestic attention from that. They can’t wage any war.
@@airhabairhab while USA has not officially stated that they will enter the military conflict, the unstated line is that they will support Guyana with weapons and Intel. Similar to Ukraine. And if Ukraine can hold off the much larger Russia, so can Guyana. Meanwhile Maduro risks a rebellion back home.
This clear and unfounded aggression is unacceptable, and the parties involved are aware of the repercussions. It is not permissible to arbitrarily dismiss a binding agreement and assert a claim over another country. The correspondence detailed the arbitration process between former British Guiana and Venezuela in 1899, as well as the official delineation of their border in a 1905 agreement. Venezuela, for more than 60 years, acknowledged and accepted this boundary. However, in 1962, it contested the 1899 arbitration that established the border.
Anybody stop and think how much forests is going to be lost 🤔
Yeah, who cares about human lives!
Guyana needs to increase its defensive capabilities tenfold in that way she doesn't need to depend on anyone.Guyana needs to create a defense ministry ,a highly trained armed forces,land,sea,air,modern equipment and most of all a good coordination between these forces.Venezuela will always be a threat now or 100 years later.Some of the income from the oil industry should be invested in the armed forces.I don't think i am wrong in what i just said.

I guess correlation equals causation huh?
likely, but there are other variables like how the US foreign policy has changed significantly after the withdrawal from Afghanistan. US is now more hesitant to send their official troops to foreign wars because their public image isn't so great, they're now trying to stay low and help indirectly. Who knows, things are unpredictable, just like how people never thought Russia would invade Ukraine.
The US is the world's largest producer of oil.

It is cuz in 1899 they sided with Britain to give the zone to the British colony

Yes, and Russia too.
That's wat we were waiting for.
From what I understand the territory on either side of the Venezuela/Guyana border is so inhospitable that Venezuela would need to go through Brazil to get to this region. Either that or embark on an expensive road building project and Venezuela is broke. This is all talk. Nothing will happen.
Even the Brazilian side of infrastructure is really bad on that region, it's extremely hard (and controversial) to build on rainforest. This is all just a distraction for the mess Maduro made, Venezuela doesn't have the money to sustain itself, let alone a war.
So was Saddam when he invaded Kuwait. The Iraqi economy was still recovering from a devasting war with Iran that didn't end well for either nation. Nations always find money for war even when they can't afford it just look at the US.

Sorry brother but Mexico doesn't have a well equipped armed forces (no tanks, no subs, no fighter jets etc) and they are too busy fighting their cartels. Dominican Republic's armed forces are the weakest in Latin America same as Mexico. Colombia is rule by a socialist/leftist President at this moment he wants to be buddies with Maduro.

@US Secretary of Defense all the on-going conflicts in the regions allying to the US are orchestrated by adversaries who have strategically decided to divert attention from Ukraine situation to ensure that the full might of American military resources are dispersed and strained to weaker levels. American forces should really be on guard because adversaries are smart enough to instigate causes for these conflicts by simply providing financial incentives one way or another. Fighting wars in more than two fronts at the same time comes with huge logistical burden to get it right in all theaters as failure in one theater has enormous potential to grant an enemy a move that could be catastrophic for America. Distraction seems to be the tactic here.
Preach brother preach 🙏
Russia is working hard. They arm Hamas and now pushing Venezuela to invade. Biden lifted most sanctions in an attempt to reduce tensions but that hasn’t worked
Bingo. People will soon discover the privileges that come from printing the world currency and being an empire don't come for free.
Indeed …also not doubt Putin hand are involved here …creating conflicts worldwide..against USA interest
Putin force r strained isreali forces r strained but us doen not send all it troops to these conflict facts they send enought men that can operate their missiles floarillas their drones and armory.that all is needed in modern warefare not thiusands of trooos when drones r the things that win war.u r living in the past.
Brazil supports Guyana!
Then do something.
@@huaiweiBrazilian citizens =/= current ruling party. Many Brazilians voted for Lula da Silva due to domestic policy proposals, not because they are fond of the warm friendship between the Worker's Party and Venezuela's dictatorial elite. Indeed, for the Brazilian electorate, one of the most unpopular positions of the Worker's Party is the admiration they have for the Venezuelan dictatorial regime. Yes, this includes many voters who chose Lula da Silva over his main contender.
Brazil don't support Guyana
@@jjclavaland Today the president of Brazil announced that he is willing to suspend his political relations with Maduro if Venezuela performs a military agression campaign against Guyana. I can provide you the source if you want.
@@huaiwei And what do you think we can do?
Invade Venezuela? Brazil is not that kind of country.
What are our options?
All I can think about is diplomacy and pressure.
Diplomacy, we already tried.
Pressure, we are now applying with military movements on the border.
But unfortunately, the only good ending to Maduro's madness is that it's all just electoral bravado.
Because otherwise, things could get worse, especially in Venezuela.

@@rlstang7276 Why don't you start your military agression campaign right now? Let's see the gift Venezuela will receive from Guyana's allies. 😁
That's treat
Why now?
Of course, the US is going to side with Guyana for the following reasons:
The US has a poor relationship with the Maduro regime;
The oil was discovered by a US company, Exon Mobil;
The US prefers oil to be in different hands ( countries) than just a few countries.
There is more. Russia is behind Venezuela, the migration crisis would get worse, Russia and China would be at the Amazon, it’s very winnable and manageable. Venezuela has a good army on paper but 5% of that is working. Also Maduro will claim martial law and never leave. Those people suffered enough.
Then why did Biden remove sanctions on Venezuela? I don't think things are as simple as you suggest. I think the current administration is more interested in keeping oil prices low than rocking the vote with yet another military intervention. Right now oil prices are low which is good for Biden because so are his approval ratings and they will go much lower if there's another war and oil prices spike because Venezuelan crude is taken off the market.
ExxonMobil isn't the only company, she'll, Qatar. China has one, Total, hess
With 6000 troops 😂
US : did I hear Oil???

Unnecessary.. Brazil is perfectly capable of resolving the problem by adding both territories to its own as they have done so often before..

Brazil is partly to blame for this. Isn't that what Da silva said about NATO when russia invaded Ukraine?
No no. We can't hold NATO critics the same standards they expect of others
Brazil is not forcing anyone to invade other countries.
@@idomaniacs Neither did NATO, but that doesn't stop politicians from lying.
No seas ignorante ,antes de opinar enterate primero antes de quedar mal, Rusia no tenia la intencion de invadir ucrania, se vio forzada a ello , por la intencion de la mal llamada OTAN de colocar misiles en territorio ucraneano, o es que no sabes de historia y solo repites como loro, Ucrania antes era parte de RUSIA de hecho su capital era la capital de la URRS , estudia eso no cuesta nada, el reclamo de mi pais a al mongolico presidente de guyana siempre a sido cordial de hecho guyana sabe muy bien que ese territorio no es de ellos y no tienen titulos , no tienen nada ya que guyana no existia, antes de opinar estudia, ya nos cansamos de esos SIMIOS, o se van o los sacamos y si se apoyan en el comando sur agravaran el problema porque atacaremos al USA y saldran perdiendo, Guyana quedara hecho senizas y usa saldra como en vietnan perdiendo, y si brasil sale de metido lamentablemente saldra perdiendo un pais amigo como somos nosotros, acuerdense que nosotros somos la gran colombia y ellos estan alli callados pero a la hora de la verdad saldan , mejor que se quede neutro brasil, por su bien , ya VENEZUELA le suministra la enrgia electrica a todo el norte de su pais y d paso se saldria de los brics y por supuesto eso no le combendra a china , ni a RUSIA E IRAN.
Because your 80 old president that is incapable of ever saying the right thing is fine. Mine that is also an old man can make no mistake. NATO did provoke Russia. Ukraine did kill ethnic Russians. Guyana is a very good, upright, peaceful neighbour.
Sounds like the beginning of a James Bond movie.
For the oil in Guyana
Essiquibo belong to guyana. 300.000 guyanese live in that region. Its guyana land for over 150 yrs now. Borders were settle since 1899 when British was ruling guyana.
essequibo isnt a english name , its spanish , 2 it was stolen from venezuela over a 100 years ago , so you tell me who it belongs too
@ElCiertooffical If it belonged to anyone, they're long since dead.

Annex Venezuela?
After it's all done Guyana should get a piece of Venezuela that is at least the same size as the one Maduro wants to annex.
No no that’s too blunt, we set up security positions in Venezuela which just happen to be situated around it’s oil deposits. It’s stability protection with economic benefits.
Unwavering as the amount of resources Guyana sits on 😂
I'm suure the US is doing this out of the kindness of their heart and not because of Guyana's enormous oil fields..
And when Guyana granted Exxon the permits for oil exploration, they were completely oblivious that they would practically guarantee US self interest to be at their back - amiright?
"We democratically decided to invade You, incidentally, asking You people was completely superfluous, thus Your drills are a provocation!" *facepalm
Sometimes I really wonder if human brains show their defects when they come up with things like that.
It's ironic on so many levels. Venezuelans aren't allowed to say there's a food shortage or they disappear or complain about inflation or protest or vote for their President but they get to vote on whether to remove another democracy from power. Meanwhile the US never has a vote on whether to endlessly fund the Ukraine War or the Gaza War or invade Afghanistan, Iraq, bomb Libya get involved in Syria or Northern Africa.
Good. If we roll over on wars of territorial aggression in our hemisphere we are sending a message to all that the rules of international law are optional
I think the bigger issue is stability in the Western Hemisphere. That's important. It doesn't matter if Ukraine falls to the Russians. Not to us where more than 10,000 miles away and it's not in our political sphere of influence but Latin America is right on our doorstep and we can't have dictators south of us just invading other countries for the heck of it. We should also secure our border which is NOT in Ukraine or Israel. Sometimes people forget that. We need to clean up our backyard before we worry about backyards in Ukraine or the middle east.
Venezuela can't even feed their own people 😂😂.
