The PPP took the diplomatic route with Suriname and won in case you have short memory.

1. The PPP didn't know what to do and had to beg Rashleigh Jackson, and other PNC officials, who they fired back. The eventually boundary was resolved in Suriname's favor. Combine that with Maduro's boundary and ships sailing into Guyana will have to pass through one or the other's territory. How is that indicative of the PPP's greatness.

2. As recently as 2013 Venezuela invaded Guyana, beat up Guyanese, and destroyed property. They also seized an oil rig, claiming that it was illegally in Venezuelan territory.

Can you tell us how the PPP resolved this issue? They took beat up from Maduro as if they suffer from battered wife syndrome.
