I'm feeling that Unasul will have more problems to solve.

Why?

Venezuela has the right to its national territory. Another example of the thieving English pirates stealing the rightfully inherited Spanish territory now belonging to the Venezuelans, but occupied by a puppet British illegal colony. After all, his holiness, Saint Chavez declared it to be.

Bolivia, Ecuador, Argentina, Nicaragua and Cuba will all confirm this.

Brasso, so much for brotherly love in Latam, you realise that the UK will come to the defence of Guyana if push comes to shove.

Yes, a quest to regain national territory wrongfully stolen from the nation...

...during a time of domestic economic crisis...

...Argentina in 1982...

Nothing to do with us,

we have nothing to give lend or borrow,

David has no spine, and we have only one rowing boat left,

do not ask for our help as refusal often offends,

just saying like.

Guyana should ask the UNSC and/or the UNGA to pass a resolution compelling Venezuela to “put-up, or shut-up”. In putting their spurious claim before the ICJ.

I like the idea of UK Apache helicopters turning Venezuela into a burning hell. I want to see MADUrine running through the flames screaming that it's a plot. Before he slumps and ceases to exist. Just slaughter the worthless slug!

But isn't it the guy 'below' the bus driver who really calls the shots?

It seems the bus driver has had his gear lever removed. :o)

Guyana, to VZ, is similar to what the Falkland Islands are to Argentina. They both serve as a political distraction to the internal shit in VZ and RGland. Another similarity is that should either VZ, or the Argies, respectively, try to dominate Guyana, or the Falklands, THEY will be attacked; they know this, and that's why they won't do it, but they have a local audience they have to play to...

@1 brASSHOLE,
“I'm feeling that Unasul will have more problems to solve”....
