Trump orders Southcom to deploy 4,000 U.S. 🇺🇸 troops to the Southern Caribbean; Guyana 🇬🇾 & T&T 🇹🇹 welcome the move against Venezuela 🇻🇪

This is different than Trump's first term when both Guyana and T&T did not go along with the Juan Guaido plan.

Rubio went to Guyana earlier this year to meet with Irfaan Ali, the Guyanese president who is up for re-election next week.

T&Ts Prime Minister Kamla Persad-Bissessar returned to power in April after a decade in opposition to former Prime Minister Keith Rowley. T&T's Kamla has aligned herself with Trump and Rubio. Rowley has criticized her for already endorsing the U.S. military deployment and not going to CARICOM. In Trump's first term, CARICOM was largely against any U.S. military campaign against Maduro.













I think things might really accelerate after Guyana and Jamaica elections next week.

Venezuela claims 60% of Guyanese territory. This dispute dates back over 100 years during British rule and even after Guyanese independence in the 1960s.

Venezuela says they will not recognize an International Court of Justice (ICJ) ruling.

Caracas, Aug 11 (EFE). – The Venezuelan government announced Monday that it will not recognize any decision by the International Court of Justice on the territorial dispute with Guyana over the Essequibo.

“We do not recognize under any circumstances the fraudulent judicial process initiated by Guyana, nor will we abide by any sentence issued in this matter,” said Executive Vice President Delcy Rodríguez, in a statement read to the media.

However, she reiterated that the presentation of this “evidence” does not imply Venezuela’s consent or recognition of the ICJ’s jurisdiction in the dispute with Guyana.

“Venezuela has demonstrated once again the solid legal and factual reasons for its irrevocable historical position of not submitting to third parties, including the ICJ, issues related to its vital interests such as its independence and territorial integrity,” the vice president added.

Rodriguez indicated that the brief “fully demonstrates” that the Geneva Agreement signed in 1966 is the only legal document that “binds Venezuela and Guyana to the resolution of the territorial dispute, through a practical, satisfactory and acceptable settlement for both parties.”

“The Cooperative Republic of Guyana has the unavoidable obligation to comply with its international duties and sit down to negotiate in good faith, peacefully and diplomatically with Venezuela, without resorting to military threats or the use of force, using extra-regional powers to reissue the structural coercion exercised for centuries against Venezuela”, she added.

The Venezuelan Vice President said that the United Kingdom “artificially fabricated a conflict over a portion of the disputed Venezuelan territory,” which now, she said, Guyana intends to reedit.

The differences over the border limits around the Essequibo, an area of almost 160,000 square kilometers that Venezuela has been claiming for over a century, began with the Paris Arbitral Award of 1899, which gave sovereignty over the territory to the then British Guyana.

Decades later, Venezuela declared the ruling void and signed the Geneva Agreement of 1966 with the United Kingdom, which established a commission to resolve the historic controversy, but it never materialized.

Guyana, which relies on the 1899 arbitration award, is betting on resolving the territorial conflict through the process opened in the ICJ.

In May, Venezuela held regional and parliamentary elections in which it chose a governor for Guayana Essequiba, as the Caribbean country calls the disputed area, and which it now considers its 24th state.

So the Venezuela government does not respect international court laws and rulings but they want Trump to respect their sovereignty as defined by international law? Is that what I'm hearing here?

Maduro thinks he is Putin. I'd obviously prefer this all blows over but Venezuela has been and is the aggressor if things go sideways on them.

The US won't invade Venezuela but they may do bombing raids and decapitation strike if they try to annex Guyana.

Lula is such a fukking coward and disappointment

 

[WTFisWallace?]

1. Somewhat surprised to both T&T and Guyana headed by folk of moreso Indian/Asian heritage (I'm generally aware of demographic of both countries, sill threw me off tho) Curious about the long-term effects of the Cambridge Analytica interference from a while back.





2. From the 'Trump is Russia's long-term get back/unwitting assest' perspective.........Trump creating the environment for military/police vs citizens domestically........and on the foreign front, instigating wars and animosity with neighboring countries....especially if he goes back to his 1st terms fixation of bombing Mexico. This all checks out.




Potentially a soft civil war. An actual war on this side of the world. And creating the possibility of future Mexican/South America revenge actors (on some jihad shyt). If the Russia asset theory was true, truly a 5D chess by Putin & em.

Lula not wanting a war on his border isn’t being a coward. You prefer Bolsonaro???

Lula has been one of the key mediators. Along with the leaders of St Vincent and Barbados.

Keith Rowley was the T&T Prime Minister from 2015-2025 and he’s black African descent. The current PM was there from 2010-2015, so this is her second term.

Same in Guyana. Ali’s predecessor was Afro Guyanese

lmfao YES! Brazil is one of the main reasons that this shyt has spiraled out of control. All they've done is enable Maduro to the point a war is actually foreseeable. The drugs, the weapons, the people smuggling/trafficking, resources, narco militias, and more. Decades of suffering, violence, and death. It's destabilized the entire region because Brazil wouldn't say no to this pos. You could even argue that Venezuela's destabilization helped give us Trump and his fascist regime.

Brazil is the regional hegemony and sat on their fukking hands. It should be called out.

I'd prefer Bolsonaro and his entire party to be hanged and set on fire
