Majority Of Venezuelans Vote To Annex Oil-Rich Region Of Guyana As previewed last week, on Sunday Venezuela would hold a referendum whether Maduro's socialist banana republic should annex the vast majority of its oil-rich neighbor, Guyana (because Venezuela doesn't have enough domestic issues to deal with, it may as well also invade a sovereign nation and start a war).
