How would Brandon getting involved in an OIL WAR!!!! AMERICAN LIVES SHOULD'T BE SPENT ON OIL!!! going to help his re-election?

Don't know.  Hence the "if".  You can bet his re-election team is gaming possibilities, though.

If there really was intelligent life on other planets, we'd be sending them foreign aid.

Conservatives see George Orwell's "1984" as a cautionary tale.  Progressives view it as a "how to" manual.

My wife often says to me, "You are evil and must be destroyed." She may be right.

Liberals believe one should never let reason, logic and facts get in the way of a good emotional argument.

Guyana is mostly populated by English speaking people with Indian (Asian) and African ancestry.

He could say that we would NOT take any oil from that region. Wars where the USA has no compelling national interest are the only just wars on which to spend American blood and treasure, since with nothing at stake our motives must be pure.

Ed Nash thinks this is more than likely just bluster for internal consumption.
Part of his reasoning is that if they were going to invade they would have just done it and not given everyone a warning and a chance to prepare

Several people in the comments pointed out that the only road connecting Venezzuela to Guyana runs through Brazil. This could be a problem for Ven in moving troops and supplies though there are some river connections.
