Iran is actually pretty developed
Yo I didn’t know Wendover did a vid on Guyana
I'm learning English from your videos 😂
The commentator has demonstrated repeated errors in the English pronunciation of geographic destinations. Irritating AF!!!
Guyana should kidnap Maduro in the middle of the night
Amazing content as always!
Hmm I wonder why they actually invaded Venezuela?
20:15 It didn't "happen" in Iran. U did it to Iran.
18:00 dont worry, Maduro isnt a problem anymore
gyana
How is coffee more expensive when cocoa beans are literally native plants in the country
Then again starbucks is more sugar and plastic than coffee
Glanced at my phone for 30 seconds and we were covering airlines again. Never change, Wendover.
18:27 lol I know this is being picky, but as a Geoguessr I’d wager money that a highway sign indicating Br-174 belongs to Brazil, not Venezuela or Guyana 😂
lol venuzuela got murked lmao
Dude pronounced the country correctly once in the first five seconds and butchered it every other time.
hopefully the US decides they dont want that offshore oil for themselves
AMAZING COUNTRY THAT SPEAKS AMERIMUTT, HOPE MORE GUYANANS IMMIGRATE TO THE USA
18:26 that’s in Brazil
saudi arabia is the perfect example of wealth is no indicator of human well being
the resource curse
P*lestine is not a country. Please don’t insult real countries by comparing it.
I’m from Turkey 🇹🇷 — our economy isn’t exactly thriving these days, but stories like this give us a spark of hope and inspiration.
this is going to be important reference material when Trump starts a war with Venezuela. which people will mistakenly attribute to regime change, when the actual goal will probably be protecting Guyana. unless they're delusional enough to straight up full-scale invade Venezuela…which, they might. they might. Hegseth is so fucking stupid, y'all.
Omg I can’t take his pronunciation of the country’s name.

I don’t think you understand that Guyana has oil gold diamonds rice the Amazon jungle and don’t forget sugar all the fruits and vegetables in the world don’t need imports from no other country we have a part of the Amazon jungle we will survive and im a local I see all the companies that nobody talk I promise you we will survive
Lols, Africans developing? Anywhere? Give it 10 years. It won't last.
As the video progress, his pronunciation of Guyana gets worse. 😂
Of course, it is imperative to remove Maduro out of power. USA does not want any destabilization in the region impacting their oil exploitation project.
🟥🟨🟩⬛For Ghanaians watching, who saw "KWAMINA STREET" at 21:36. 🟥🟨🟩⬛
The oil boom will destroy the country. The income inequity will be exploited by Chavez styled socialists and will soon elect a Venezuelan style kleptocracy.
Let's not forget, it was the US that stoked racial strife and a civil war.
I was ready to move there until i heard about the cultural conflict 🙁
IGREJA. BRASIL. BENDITO
💚 🤍 💛 💙
PEOPLE
I THINK WE HAVE MORE PEAPLE
All the best to guyana you have persuaded with your goal love from india.
holy crap – a country gets some money and spends it on INFRASTRUCTURE and improving things for its people? must be lies
How do you pronounce the country name correct in the first 7 seconds the proceed to pronounce it wrong the rest of the video 🤦🏿♂️
speaking fast no good
the graph at 9:44 showing oil rent compared to GPD per capita looks like there is no correlation at all if you exclude Iraq and Libya. I'd be worried that it's just a spurious correlation and there is no actual causal link.
A flawed democracy sounds more harsh then it is. In general it's pretty good. i mean, france, belgium and usa are considered a flawed democracy as well by the same index…
It’s Guy-an-a not Gee-ya-na.
For your information Guyana has always had oil but Venezuela has been syphoning Guyana’s oil for decades. Now Venezuela wants to steal half of Guyana please note this area Venezuela is wanting to steal is where most of Guyana’s oil is! Also it’s rich in gold and precious stones.
Now Venezuela is cutting down the Guyanese rain forest in order to steal half of Guyana. They are destroying the natural eco and co2 of the world.
The UN needs to intervene to stop Venezuela from stealing Guyana’s land NOW NOT TOMORROW BUT NOW.
STOP VENEZUELA’S INVASION OF GUYANA NOW!!!
STOP VENEZUELA STEALING OUR LANDS NOW!!!
Bravo! But their ignorance won't change!
Now that it has reached a GDP per capita (PPP) higher than usa , it should diversify it fast by focusing on science, technology and finance , it can bring in startups with lucrative visa from around the world
I left that shit hole when I was 5 don't give a f about that shit gole
2:46 I know a lot of Guyanese geography and this is the Schoonord Highway.
