Threats both near and far.

This also entails international legal issues between the UK and the countries involved in the region.

London sent warships off the coast of Guyana, officially under the pretext of a naval visit to the host country, but in reality to warn Venezuela. In response, Venezuela deployed thousands of troops and placed them on high alert along the border with Guyana. Venezuela also stated that it would only withdraw these troops after Britain withdrew its warships from the waters off Guyana.

In fact, Britain is not concerned about the possibility of Venezuela starting a war, because while the country has modernized the territorial dispute with Guyana, it does not intend to open the way for conflict with its neighbor. Recently, the leaders of Venezuela and Guyana have had direct discussions about the disagreement. But when Britain intervened in the matter between Venezuela and Guyana, Venezuela chose a "two birds with one stone" strategy as described above. Through this, Venezuela simultaneously threatened Guyana and deterred Britain, turning the private matter between Venezuela and Guyana into a continental security issue and a matter between the continent and Britain.

This region, where Britain once had numerous colonies and is currently in a territorial dispute with Argentina, puts Britain at a significant disadvantage in the area as regional security tensions escalate. Conversely, Britain has warned Venezuela and expressed its willingness to support Guyana primarily to avoid further setbacks in its territorial dispute with Argentina.
