"In collaboration with the Guyana Defense Force, the U.S. Southern Command will conduct flight operations within Guyana on December 7,"

See very recent my prior blog entry the Venezuelan-Guyana Crisis 2023.

Routine engagement! Sure!

"The United States said it will carry out military flights in Guyana on Thursday in a joint operation as the South American country faces soaring tensions with neighboring Venezuela over a contested oil-rich region."

[. . . .]

"A border feud has recently spiraled over the oil-rich Essequibo region, controlled by Guyana for more than a century but which Venezuela also claims and has voiced intent to take over."

"The long-running dispute over Essequibo, which comprises some two-thirds of Guyanese territory, has intensified since ExxonMobil discovered oil there in 2015."

Read at the wiki entry the history of the entire Essequibo dispute. For over a century now and ongoing. Border controversy among the colonial powers with disagreement over border delineation even way before that.

Lord Salisbury to an extent responsible for the current mess. Let him go clean it up!
