  1. This turn of events was totally predictable since
    US sanctions have crippled Venezuela.
    China and Russia see this as an opportunity
    and why should they not?
    Venezuela has never done anything to the US
    to warrant this harsh treatment.

  2. I am a Trinbagonian and I do not support my government support for extra-judicial killings in our region and against our citizens. This is all political games being played by the new government. We did not mandate unlawful action or support.
    I suspect that after Trump is gone this will all be a matter for the UN to investigate.

  3. The Dragon Gas field is located 100% in Venezuela territorial waters. Trinidad does not "share" this field as it is 100% owned by Venezuela. It is however very close to the Hibiscus Platform which is on the Trinidad side

  4. Could you do a follow up video from the perspective of Venezuela? If Trinidad is so close and provides staging for an attack on Venezuela, would Venezuela be able to use short range missiles and even scuba divers to hit back at Trinidad?

  5. Trinidadians better learn from history very quickly. Let them research every country that the United States has ever entered and see if those countries are better off now since the U.S. left. Start with Iran. Watch what they did to Grenada. All of Central America. This stupid woman is taking Trinidad in the middle of this war between the US and Venezuela. Trinidadians need to have her removed from office. She needs to be worrying about the crime in Trinidad and Tobago but instead she is putting Trinidad and Tobago in the middle of this stupid possible war between the US and Venezuela. I shouldn't even say war. This act of aggression by the US..
