🇧🇷🇻🇪 - "Guy I have within the Brazilian Army said he knows nothing about [a Venezuelan invasion]." - one of our sources.
We are seeing a distinct lack of information from people on the ground - it is important to remember that, like the last time a Venezuelan invasion of Guyana was rumored, this could be a nothingburger.

Admin here: I'll be honest
1) I don't think Maduro is that mad to go full Galtieri
2) Even if there's a “war" most like would be PARA's assault (we still have 4-5 C-130 Hercules and several Paratroopers planes)
3) We're going to be alone in this war. For a long time CARICOM and other caribbean organizations suck Chávez cock for a While now They are turning against Maduro Government.
4) again Maduro Government is alone if war happen. Neither Petro's Colombia, Lula's Brazil or Ortega's Nicaragua is going to help him. Realpolitik its about interest and business not about friendship

Panama’s government said it will shut a giant copper mine owned by First Quantum Minerals Ltd., damping hopes that the company might be able to reach a new deal to keep operating.
Authorities will start “the transition process for the orderly and safe closure of the mine,” President Laurentino Cortizo said in a post on X Tuesday, after the nation’s supreme court ruled against the miner.
The move will deprive the government of one of its biggest sources of revenue and increases the chances of a legal battle between the Canadian miner and Panama in international arbitration. Cortizo didn’t say how long the process might take.
On Tuesday, the court ruled against a law approving a contract, sealing the doom of an operation that produces more than 1 per cent of global copper output.

🇪🇺 🇷🇺 How hydrogen will take over Europe's energy market and what Russia should do about it | Rybar
🔶️ Hydrogen is being promoted worldwide as an alternative to fossil fuels.
🔶️ Through the efforts of TNC lobbyists, "green" political parties and eco-activists, public opinion is being shaped to achieve zero emissions. In economic terms, this will allow, above all, the US, UK and their allies to impose their energy consumption standards and technologies to enforce those standards on the world.
🔶️ A new global financial and energy structure is emerging, and regional conflicts around the world, including the SMO in Ukraine, have created additional favorable conditions for achieving long-standing goals.

🇻🇪 🇬🇾Escalating Tensions: Military Buildup on Venezuela-Guyana Border Sparks Concerns
As the longstanding dispute over the Essequibo area intensifies between Venezuela and Guyana, Brazil takes strategic measures to reinforce troops near the northern border. The contested territory, a source of contention for over a century between Caracas and Georgetown, is now at the center of escalating geopolitical tensions.
Caracas is set to conduct a consultative referendum on December 3, asserting the Bolivarian Republic's rights to the disputed territory west of the Essequibo River. The area in question spans 159,500 square kilometers, constituting the largest part of Guyana and housing a population of 283,000, with a total neighboring population of approximately one million.
Despite a 1983 convention signed by Caracas and Georgetown to peacefully resolve the territorial dispute, external influences, particularly U.S. intervention, have complicated matters. The discovery of a substantial oil source by ExxonMobil in 2015 further exacerbated tensions. Seven additional companies, including China National Offshore Oil Corporation, QatarEnergy, and TotalEnergies, recently received licenses for offshore development, contributing to the complex geopolitical landscape.
Unconfirmed reports allege that the entire government of Guyana is under the influence of ExxonMobil, raising concerns about the impartiality of the territorial dispute. This development has heightened tensions, especially for Caracas, given its sensitivity to the exploitation of oil-rich disputed territories.
Complicating the situation is the broader context of warming relations between Caracas and Washington. Recent U.S. policy shifts, including the lifting of restrictions on Venezuelan raw material exports and a shift in rhetoric towards Venezuelan President Nicolas Maduro, signal a potential period of reconciliation.
However, the emerging military conflict in Guyana threatens to disrupt this delicate phase of diplomatic engagement. Reports suggest that skirmishes along the Venezuela-Guyana border are already underway, adding urgency to the situation.
While the possibility of U.S. military intervention looms, the challenges associated with intervening in Venezuela, a sizable and resilient nation, give Washington pause. The potential for a protracted conflict and increased reputational risks for the U.S. Democratic Party further complicate any decision to engage militarily in the region. The evolving situation underscores the delicate balance between territorial disputes, geopolitical interests, and the broader implications for regional stability.

🚢 🌍 🇾🇪 The Mediterranean Shipping Company (MSC), the largest shipping line in the world, has decided not to transport goods through the Suez Canal due to threats from Yemen.
🔶️ In the long run, this problem increases the costs of the Israeli regime’s partner companies to a great extent and increases the economic pressure on Israel. A problem that seems to continue at least until the end of the Gaza war. 🇮🇱
