talkpoliticsSo, now we have Russia in Ukraine, Iran backed militia in the Middle East and now Venezuela preparing to invade Guyana... Will this be the final nail in the coffin for worldwide peace and are we about to move to the next defcon status?
Venezuela referendum result: voters back bid to claim sovereignty over large swath of Guyana
Personally, I think the US will have to intervene else they'll be even more swamped with refugees they can't house or care for.
Now, I'm not against accepting refugees as long as you have the means to accomodate them. But if you can't even house them and care for them, you're not really helping them. The best way is to remove the reason they became refugees in the first place and that means interveening directly in their countries. Sadly.
Let's face it. Mexico, the US and Canada can't keep accepting refugees indefintely as they're about to run out of resources to take care of them. Housing availability is at sub 1% in most cities already. Food banks are empty and the health services are burned out after overworking themselves during Covid. They can't even house their own homeless citizens already.
Venezuela invading Guyana will be the final straw, I think. As long as conflict happens an ocean away, the US isn't in any hurry to intervene unless they're attacked directly. But South America is different, it's in America's backyard. So you can expect this to become big news in the days to come.
