Breaking Venezuela's recent attacks on neighboring Guyana, a Caribbean nation and key US ally, have experts concerned over increasing regional volatility and reminding echoes of a "war-like situation."
Guyana's armed forces and police report that Venezuela opened fired on a boat carrying election materials Sunday afternoon, in a new flare-up of a long-standing border dispute. Officials report that the vessel was escorted by a patrol boat that returned fire.
This attack on a US ally and Caribbean nation is a strong warning to the Biden administration and monarchies of the importance of a unified and strong front against Venezuela's failing regime. Biden's leadership in the region, particularly in comparison to the strong stance taken by his predecessor, is disappointing to some.
We must ask ourselves, what role should the US be playing in this scenario, and what are the potential consequences if we continue to fail to address this worsening situation with the seriousness it deserves?
