    The problem here is virtually every part of the earth was wrongfully taken in the colonial era–or more recently. So what to do about that is a big question. I don’t think the answer is, fork over land to regional powers engaging in their own resource-grabs. Venezuela and Guyana are both essentially colonial projects, so if you really want to reckon with an anti-colonial argument it’s going to be much bigger than just a shift in borders.
