Oh look - US Crapitalism threatening other people again. This time Venezuela.

What is it all about? Gee, can you guess from the below?

Last week, US Secretary of State Marco Rubio visited Guyana to attend the military exercises of the US Navy. During his trip, Rubio, an anti-communist hawk, spoke about the possibility of intervening militarily in the dispute between Venezuela and Guyana over the Essequibo, a border area between both nations which has an extension of 159,542 km2. Since 1962, Venezuela has claimed the west coast of the Essequibo River as its own.

Rubio, in a threatening tone, said in Georgetown, the capital of Guyana, that “If [Venezuela] were to attack Guyana or ExxonMobil or something like that, it would be a very bad day, a very bad week, for them, and it would not end well”. The Secretary of State made these statements about the fact that recently, a Venezuelan Coast Guard ship expelled a few support vessels of the ExxonMobil company, which has developed economic operations in Guyana, producing up to 250,000 barrels of oil per day.
