Here we go again. Let's tamper with other countries just enough to create instability, then scratch your heads a decade later when their population is escaping to your border. Rinse, repeat, Insanity.

The USA under Trump tried to depose the Venezuelan leader only 5 years ago or so. Speaking of Trump, a large portion of the USA is currently striving to elect someone who tried to overthrow democracy in their own nation. Electoral scrutiny is all well and good, but is the USA really the right arbitrator given their domestic election problems and history of interfering in Central/South America? What do Venezuelans think about US involvement?
Biden successfully deposed of Pakistan's elected leader lol.
Source?
Imran Khan was coup'd in 2022 for his independent foreign policies and replaced with a pro-US puppet (who sent weapons to Ukraine and bombed Iran), despite Imran being highly popular in Pakistan.
He won this year's election from jail despite the whole election being completely filled with vote-rigging. It's not quite clear where things are gonna go from here.

That's really rich when your soldiers are massed near Essequibo along a border with a country less than half your size.
Like the Malvinas were colonized from Argentina by the UK for its resources and to put mililtary there, this region was annexed from Venezuela by the british-ruled Guyana for similar reasons.
Guyana's current government is a US puppet regime that's given megacorps like Exxon Mobil full access to its oil (which is also claiming oil reserves in Venezuela's maritime borders through Essequibo), and is planning to place US military in Essequibo to aid in their trying to overthrow Venezuela. It makes sense to take measures to prevent this.
I honestly doubt they'll go and actually annex Essequibo back, but it's completely reasonable to at least place troops on the border to discourage US military from coming into the region.
