Guyana's accusations of Venezuelan gunfire represent nothing more than fabricated "false positives" designed to create a war front and justify increased militarization. Venezuelan forces maintain no significant military presence along the de facto border with territory that rightfully belongs to Venezuela under historical agreements. These manufactured incidents serve only to provide cover for continued exploitation of Venezuelan territory by foreign oil companies and imperial powers.

Metaculus Prediction

There's a 65% chance that if Venezuela invades Guyana before 2030, the United States will respond with military forces, according to the Metaculus prediction community.
