Reply to "Venezuela to remap offshore oil, escalating tension with Guyana"

Venezuelans are so disinterested in Guyana that few have attempted to flee there. Really only the people on the other side of the border.

Not sure who Maduro is trying to impress, but little Guyana with its "strange" people doesnt interest or concern most Venezuelans.

I visited Venezuela several years ago. I realized that they dont care one bit about Guyanese. The claim is that when Venezuelan political elites get into trouble they raise this to divert.

Most Venezuelans want to know why Guyana when they cannot even effectively use the land area that they currently have. Especially as they perceive Guyanese to be culturally incompatible "because they speak English and have lots of Hindus".
