    “Maduro and his cronies resemble the Esequibo dispute with that of the Falkland Island's and Argentina's sovereignty claims”

    “Maduro and his cronies resemble the Esequibo dispute with that of the Falkland Islands and Argentina’s sovereignty claims.”

    ”However, half a century later, the publication of an alleged political deal between Russia and Britain led Venezuela to reassert its claims. In 1949, the US jurist Otto Schoenrich gave the Venezuelan government the Memorandum of Severo Mallet-Prevost (Official Secretary of the U.S./Venezuela delegation in the Tribunal of Arbitration), written in 1944 to be published only after Mallet-Prevost's death. That reopened the issues, with Mallet-Prevost surmising a political deal between Russia and Britain from the subsequent private behaviour of the judges.”
