While I support Venezuela's claim and am not against annexation, I feel like fighting a war in a jungle area is very hard to do. Hopefully it's a quick war, if they decide to invade.
No war is happening
Yet, i can assure you that the US wont let it slide. The southcom generals have been drooling about this regions resources.

I found a YouTube link in your comment. Here are links to the same video on alternative frontends that protect your privacy:
Do you think Guyana will simply lay down and let this happen? War is the logical end conclusion of this.
With a population of 804,567 and an active "army" of 4600 active personnel and 3000 reserves (2 brigades)
Compared to a country with a population of 28.2 million with an army of 115,000
Even if they conscript 1% of their population (in the short term) that's only another 2 brigades
Do you think their society will have the morale to fight as though the US invaded them with a Latin American neighbour? To me it seems that the many leftists in Guyana would be apathetic.
