Well, if you want to know about breaking news then infowars is a site that has to be checked and, what do you know, it has an update. Maduro has sent troops to the border with Guyana according to El Pais. The President of Guyana isn't impressed and is in consultation with the US.
'Venezuelan President Nicolas Maduro has sent troops to the border with Guyana in preparation for claiming 160,000 square kilometers of territory known as Essequibo, according to the Spanish daily El Pais.
An unknown number of Venezuelan troops has been dispatched to Puerto Barima, in the state of Delta Amacuro, the Spanish outlet said. Meanwhile, Maduro has unveiled a new map of Venezuela incorporating the territory, dubbed ‘Guyana Essequiba,’ after 10.4 million Venezuelan voters approved such a move in a referendum on Sunday.
“We want the peaceful rescue of the Guayana Esequiba,” Maduro said on Tuesday. “Our Guayana Esequiba has been de facto occupied by the British Empire and its heirs and they have destroyed the area.”
Maduro also appointed Major-General Alexis Rodriguez Cabello as the region’s new governor. His seat at the moment is in Tumeremo, a mining town in the state of Bolivar.

On Tuesday, Maduro said that foreign companies exploiting resources in the area without the permission of Caracas have three months to “comply with the law.'
Venezuela Mobilizes Army Ahead of Possible Guyana Invasion - InfoWars
No mention of this on the news networks. There was something on France 24 a few days ago but they put it down to Maduro rallying support ahead of the presidential elections in Venezuela. Brazil has an interest here as well as the UK (Guyana is in the Commonwealth) and France (French Guiana is in the region but a bit removed from the conflict).
There was a general breakdown in international order in the thirties as Italy, Japan and Germany sought annexations. In fact, the invasion of Abyssinia was the reason why De Valera made ready the nation for another Great Powers' war.
I can't see America or Europe putting up too much of a resistance given the general decline, the fumble in Ukraine and the Israelis following the Azerbaijani's example. There will be period, at least, of accommodations.
I'd say this is the reason why Maduro is throwing the dice on this. It could all be collecting seashells but it's not a good sign. Brazil is the one to watch here.
