"Venezuela Increases Military Presence on Guyana Border Amid Oil Dispute"

TL;DR Summary
Satellite images reveal Venezuela's military buildup near the Guyana border, despite President Maduro's previous pledge not to take military action. The disputed territory of Essequibo, rich in resources, has been a point of contention, with Maduro seeking to annex it. The escalating dispute has led to increased tensions, prompting Brazil to deploy more troops to its border with Guyana and Venezuela, while the US has agreed to bolster Guyana's defense. Analysts suggest Maduro's actions may be driven by domestic and economic reasons, as well as a strategy to pressure Guyana into sharing revenue from recent oil discoveries.
