Comments by "Persona" (@ArawnOfAnnwn) on "Why Venezuela wants to invade Guyana" video.

  1. Russia wouldn't send him military support, nor would they expect that. It would support them diplomatically, including by ensuring that any US response does not have international legitimacy as it won't be authorized by the UNSC. It would go down as yet another unilateral US intervention into other countries matters. And in Latin America no less, where it's very unpopular.

  2.  @BoxStudioExecutive  Who's in charge of Afghanistan again? Oh right. War, as the saying goes, is politics by other means. You failed in Afghanistan. Doesn't matter who was on top in the initial battle. You lost the war.

  3. It's not about developing it, it's about avoiding losing market share. It matters less that Venezuela has it than that their competitor doesn't. Also Guyana's oil is cheaper to process than Venezuela's oil. The latter has 'heavy' and 'sour' oil, which basically means it requires much more extensive processing to be usable for anything beyond asphalt. Guyana's oil is cheaper to work with. Prior to this move, it was actually going to be Exxon that was expected to profit the most from their reserves.

  4.  @mimas165  Russia is currently trying to stop NATO from expanding, after having their requests for the same dismissed for over 30 years. That has nothing to do with Venezuela. As an oil producer, Russian oil is very much profitable.

  5.  @rodolfo5022  'anti-imperialist speech and sentiment' - I'm sorry, is the land of 'free speech' criminalizing speech now?

  8.  @mimas165  Lol I am on topic. You're the one who went off on a tangent claiming they needed to steal toilets - in response to me talking about NATO. Ironic that you then accuse me of going off topic, what you yourself did. So I followed your dumb argument by pointing out that they're already better off than the country they supposedly need to steal toilets from.

  9.  @mimas165  As to your original comment, you wanted to try forcing a comparison between them and Venezuela. I pointed out how that doesn't hold up. Their situations aren't at all similar. In fact you were the original party guilty of going off topic, as your original comment dragged Russia into the discussion despite both the OP and this video being about Venezuela. You just want to indulge your pet hate boner all over the internet rather than staying on topic. Probably start yapping about how much Russia sucks even under cooking vids lol.

  10.  @micha2909  'can and should solve this without outside help' - they haven't even asked for outside help. The US is just sticking its nose in anyway, as is its habit. They just treat it as the default that they have to be involved in everything.

  12.  @QueenHeather-TD  Armenia is fine. The territory they lost wasn't in Armenia proper, it just had a lot of them.

  13.  @sideshowbob  Sure, keep telling yourself that to justify the policy. Next you'll tell us the US invaded Iraq to 'free' the poor Iraqis. And Afghanistan to promote women's rights lol. 😂

  14.  @mimas165  Bruh, Russia is richer than Ukraine. Like it's not even close. This was true even before the war. And I don't mean rich in natural resources, I mean their per capita income is higher. You're the one selling a story that flies in the face of the data just to sate your hate boner.

  18. Oh yeah sure, NOW you people want to hear from the locals, when you suspect they'll be on your side. Back when the borders were drawn and you had the power to avoid these messes all over the world you didn't give a shit to what the locals thought.

  22. Nothing like Vietnam. No one is even expecting Guyana to be able to put up a fight. It's more about her neighbours.
