4. If the people of that part of Guyana were allowed to vote in

in an honest referendum as to whether they want to become Venezuelans, I might say that Maduro had reason to annex that territory. The folks living in that part of Guyana weren’t asked and I doubt they’d approve of their annexation.

I also don’t believe that a majority of the people living outside of Texas In territory annexed by the terms of the treaty of Guadalupe Hidalgo, Native American or not, nomadic or settled, would have wanted to be annexed by the US either.
