How do Guyanese feel about Maduro?

Tue, Nov 18, '25 at 8:52 PM

I have been hearing about the support from Trinidad to force regime change in Venezuela.


How do the Guyanese feel about their neighbour under the leadership of Maduro being threatened by Trump?

How much have you followed the full story, there is a phrase that goes " cause and effect ". Since Venezuela stopped the exploitation of their national resources by foreign multinational oil companies, sanctions were placed on them by mostly the American Government. that has crippled their economy since 2003, that is mostly the reason why in Venezuela life is difficult, not mainly because of their political leader.

Here are some stats....


As of 2025, Venezuela holds approximately 303–304 billion barrels of proven reserves. Cumulatively, it has likely extracted around 150–200 billion barrels of crude over its history—leaving roughly 100–150 billion barrels of reserves still underground and recoverable under current technological and economic conditions.


Now, it seems like VZ should've stayed the course and keep producing and selling the oil... their economy would've continue to boom and people flourish....


Can't have your cake and eat it too.... they chose a different path and look at the results.... there are many a documentary you can find to see what their government have done to its people and why they live dirt poor... be introspective.... start at home before you start blaming others...

Well, if Venezuela had stayed the course, it would have meant that the multinationals companies would have kept profiting from the oil and not much would have trickled down to the common man, that's what Chavez was trying to do when he nationalized the oil, raise the standard of living for the common man. Instead, the multinationals lobbied the USA government and sanctions were places on them, that restricted Venezuela for buying spare parts and new machineries to keep their oil extractions working.
