It is no coincidence that announcement of drilling actually beginning occurred after the PPP was despatched. Jagdeo loves those macho Veneuelan dictators too much to defy them.
It's funny how the PPP cried out about Burnham being a dictator and yet they embraced the longest serving dictator in history Fidel Castro and his two Venezuelan minions Chavez and Maduro.
Both Cuba and Venezuela are sovereign nations and conduct their own policies. The PPP had relations with many nations which had very divergent views, no different than the US. The deal with Venezuela was not only with Guyana but many regional nations.
Burnham and his cabal were not only thieves and dictators, but also racist. We fight our battles, let the Cubans and Venezuelans fight theirs.
