Request for help came after Venezuelan president announced series of measures to formalize a referendum Sunday evening
Guyana has appealed for help from the United Nations and the United States as the Venezuelan president, Nicolás Maduro, announced a series of measures intended to advance its annexation of two-thirds of the tiny South American nation’s territory.
“I have spoken to the secretary general of the United Nations and several leaders, alerting them of these dangerous developments and the desperate actions of President Maduro,” Irfaan Ali, president of Guyana, said in a television broadcast late on Tuesday, as he informed the nation of 800,000 of Maduro’s latest steps intended to create a new Venezuelan state in Guyana.
Well, that’s a little Ironic
The lesson of this chapter of history is probably going to be called
“Ok look WWI was bad but that doesn’t mean you forego defensive alliances entirely you scared turtles!”
