From the transcript

It's been called the "shocking war" that wasn't. Back in early December, Venezuela staged a reference on the creation of a new state in the nation's east. The problem?

The land that state would occupy isn't a part of Venezuela. Instead, the new state was to be situated in the Estequibo, an oil mineral-rich swath of rainforest that's been internationally recognized as being a part of Guiana since 1899. In other words, it looked like the reference might be a precursor to Caracas annexing Estequibo by force.

Now, if you follow geopolitics, as you might do because you follow this channel, you might remember how tense things briefly felt, how it genuinely looked as if South America might be about to fight its first interstate conflict since 1995's Senepa War. But then, well, nothing happens.
