U.S. Secretary of State Antony Blinken said the United States has ‘serious concerns’ about the announced result of Venezuela’s hotly contested presidential election that authorities say was won by incumbent Nicolas Maduro.
Speaking in Tokyo on Monday shortly after the announcement was made, Blinken said the U.S. was concerned that the result reflected neither the will nor the votes of the Venezuelan people. He called for election officials to publish the full results transparently and immediately and said the U.S. and the international community would respond accordingly.
One man’s illegal invasion is another man’s democratic liberation. But this whole thing reeks of the Iraq/Kuwait conflict of '91, complete with arguments over who owns which oil field and shady corporate executives leaning on domestic news media to get people’s hate up.
No, no it isn’t, Saddam invaded Kuwait to annex it. Let’s hope Maduro does not try to invade Guyana to annex it.
Saddam invaded Kuwait to halt their slant drilling project into the transboundary Rumaila oil field.
Even if that were the only reason, that has no relation to Guyana, because these are geologically independent reservoirs.

You replied to the wrong guy. The tankie is above me.
Removed, see the new civility guidelines.
And also because Kuwait was the only party involved that refused some debt forgiveness for Iraq’s losses in the Iran/Iraq war backed by the US and its allies.
