If Only…

CARACAS/GEORGETOWN, Dec 3 (Reuters) – Voters in Venezuela rejected the International Court of Justice’s (ICJ) jurisdiction over the country’s territorial dispute with Guyana and backed the creation of a new state in the potential oil-rich Esequibo region in a Sunday referendum.

Now whether said “election” was in fact an election (and not a rigged bunch pile of garbage) I do not know, but that Maduro actually put the question to the people is….. extraordinary.

Of course the alleged “International Court of Justice” sees things different but then again others usually do. It is a fact, however, that territorial disputes are, historically-speaking, resolved by the use of force.
