Pnc said that government must be more vigilant on Venezuela because of the equipments that they brought from china and Russia.
The pnc said that our government is silent on this issue and they are persuading our government to prepare for a war. The government of Guyana is right to keep silent and the foreign affairs ministry also. This issue is very sensitive on Venezuela stock piling, but at the same time Guyana cannot do anything to radical Chavez. Mr. Corbin was asleep all the time –Venezuela was building up their arsenal a long time ago even in Burnham times. But I think just he wants to show that he is concern. |

Venezuela does not pose a threat to Guyana.

The PNC are prositutes to the US. The PPP should keep a US friendly stance but should not be drawn into acting on the US beck and call. They used Venez against Guyana, not they try the other way. Guyana should exploit the situation to get Chavez to remove the claim against essiquibo, thus the preceived threat. This will serve Guyana better in the long run. US interest will come and go, Venez and Guyana are neighbours for infinity.
The only thing the GoG needs to be vigilant of is the US manipulating the GDF/PNC to undermine and topple the Govt and install an admin who will more readily answer their call to act in it's interest. |

"The only thing the GoG needs to be vigilant of is the US manipulating the GDF/PNC to undermine and topple the Govt and install an admin who will more readily answer their call to act in it's interest."
That's exactly what PPP Crime Minister, Roger Khan said, as he fled the Joint Services en route to Suriname. Yet, here we are, two years after he fled, and the the US, the PNC and the GDF have not toppled the corrupt and inept PPP government. Do you have any EVIDENCE to support such a possibility? Or are you merely speculating? If the US could orchestrate the removal of the PPP AGAIN and install a new regime that would serve America's interest, do you think Guyanese would flee Guyana in the hundreds per day? With hundreds of thousands of Guyanese living in America, I think the US would be doing the people of Guyana a huge favor if it can orchestrate the removal of the corrupt and inept PPP government. And take back communist failure Janet Jagan to live in Chicago where she can live out the rest of pathetic life! |

Dont know what RK said or didnt say. However, as I said the PPP should maintain a US friendly stance but should not become a prostitute to the US like the PNC and many of their supporters are. It is clear the the PNC, CGID and others are ready to lick the US asses if they could get back in power. They would love to use the Chavez factor to ride this wave. Guyana's best interest is to chart a balanced and constructive relations with their neighbours and the US regardless of ideology as long as they dont try to impose it. |

There are a lot of cutlasses in Guyana, the majority of which are in the hands of East Indians. The majority of AK47 rifles not in the hand of the army are in the hand of the PNC.
So is the PNC preparing for war and regime change? |

this is a good move by the pnc, the last time they ascended to power it was with the help of the cia who were turned off by the communist jagan. now they have another opportunity with the venezveulan situation. if jagdeo and the ppp bais cozy up to chavez then the Us will throw in its lot with the pnc and ascend them to power once again.

The PNC has always had something against our neighbours to the east. When Chavez visited Guyana several years ago he made it known and clear that he has no interest in Venezuela and what is on his main agenda is to strengthen ties between all South American nations through trade and to become less dependent on American assistance. |

With all that said,why not renounce the most imperialist of all designs in their claim of Guyana's land. If he sincere about removing every vestige of imperalism, then drop the claim. |

It only claims 65% of our land area and prohibits the exploitation of our marine energy potential. |

Giving the nature of the International political landscape, one would notice that Guyana does not need to be vigilant of Venezuela recent stockpiling of weapons. In fact Guyana and Venezuela have very cordial relations. Guyana is Venezuela's permanent neighbor and Guyana has recognized this fact and has made progress in furthering relations with Venezuela.

If you were paying attention to the recent International financial meltdown then you would be aware that more and more Guyanese have decided to return to Guyana from the US. |

Although a territorial dispute between these two neighbours exists, Guyana is committed towards extending the hand of friendship to Venezuela but will not do that at the expense of compromising its territorial integrity. Further, "eversince the Protocol of Port of Spain was signed in 1970, Guyana has been actively pursuing a policy of friendship and cooperation with Venezuela." The former has also sought to establish people to people contacts with its western neighbour in areas of student exchanges, sports and culture, and through the establishment of links with Non Governmental Organisations so as to further concrete friendly relations. |

You sure? With oil prices currently below that which Venezuela can sustain itself with (theyneed $95/barrel and currently its $70) will not be too sure. You ought to know that oin the past Chavez was one of the military who were quite aggressive in his demand for Guyana. Faced with a starving population and a poweful military dont put anything past him. |

You are quite naive if you think that Chavez will have any respect for prior agreements or "friendship" from Guyana if he takes it into his head that he needs to take Essequibo which he thinks belongs to him. Note that he has not renounced claims to Guyanese territory. With tumbling oil prices expect serious problems in Venezuela. |

Hve they? Given that Guyana has limited opportunities for them and virtually NONE of the kids, and many of the wives want to return I doubt you dream will be true. They will remain in the USA and Guyanese who subsist on starvation wages will continue to depend on a "raise" from them. |

Why will Venezuela stockpile weapons. AGainst the USA? Hardly likely given that the US is its largest market. Against Colombia. Not likely given any invasion of that country will lead to immediate retaliation by the USA. Against Trinidad? No. They need that island to process some of their petrochemicals as they have let their plants deteriorate. Against Brazil. No way. Not the agricultural and industrial giant of South America. Now given that Venezuela has claims on 50,000 square miles of Guyana and has never dropped its claim, despite the "friendship" its received from Guyana oughtnt you to be suspicious? |
