Just when I started to respect your views you had to make a dumb statement in the bold above. Do you really think the visit by a UN OFFICIAL is to send a message to Maduro? And do you think he transit in Guyana because of GRANGER?
Do you really think that none other than the United Nations Secretary General is not heard LOUD AND CLEAR?
Seriously. I happen to think that Granger is a bumbling incompetent whe it comes to economic issues, and politically arrogant on top of that (50% pay increase and then offering the civil servants the SAME pay increase which the PPP did, and which the PNC rejected).
But when it comes to this Venezuela fiasco he has done as well as he can do when one considers that the demise of Guyana will adversely impact no one, so they have no reason to care. Granger raised the issue to international levels and the visit of Ban Ki Moon will ensure that it remains visible.
Resolution of this matter is now in the hands of the UN and so VISIBLE involvement of the UN sends a message.
Probably you endorse either
1. Granger rushing to Maduro beg forgiveness, as Jagdeo urged that he do
OR
2. Guyana invading Venezuela.
Because aside from that I see no alternatives to what Granger did.
