    We must defend peace! JUSTICE is the best way to do this. Wars are never fair.

    Don't think that Venezuela is weak. It is not.

    Do not think that little Guyana is defenseless. It is not.

    Venezuela and Guyana must resolve their problems peacefully. They must adjust values and lands in such a way that we never hear about it again.

    Anything outside of that, here is Brazil.

    Brasileiro your comment “Anything outside of that, here is Brazil.” has me a bit confused. Could you please clear it up for me?
    Are you saying that Brasil is willing to head the table on peace talks or are you saying that we will take any who want to leave Venezuela or Guyana under the cloak of refugee status?
    The other option, and I hope I am wrong, is that we have plenty of land onour side of the border ready for a military invasion. Surely you weren't thinking that option. Maybe you are willing to sacrifice “Pico da Neblina” but I'm not.

    I think speaking Brazilian Portuguese is a directive.

    Of course. We don't want to do that, since USA doesn't want to either.

    Any questions?

    Bras
    Venezuela is ‘weak’ and Guyana is almost defenceless.

    The resolution is for Venezuela to drop its spurious claim once and for all.

    Brazil’s only action so far has been to move troops and ARVs to the border regions, jungle regions no less.

    All the pressure on Maduro not to invade has come from outside S. America.

    So you don't have complete control. They don't know anything about what's going on!

    Ask USA. USA knows.

    Meanwhile the Guayanans get more support from all around (naturally including Brazil.) Let's see how hungry Nick the Mad is...and Brasso ought to like the source.
