Belize is British.  England or America would intervene immediately.

Belize was British, but declared independence years ago, so not sure help would come.

 

[Zigg]

Commonwealth country, Queen is on their money.  Currency is tied to American dollar.  I assume zero chance either allows aggression towards Belize.

 

[Brady Marino]

Belize is a growing American expat country, so curious how America reacts.

Probably the usual boredom and apathy with Latin America countries, though.

Not too many wars in Central/South Anerucan history. Bolivia & Chile had one in the 19th century IIRC.

If their soccer team is any indication Guatamala is gonna fight dirty.

It is interesting how there haven't been many wars over the last few hundred years down there.  I wonder why.

This one was a really, really bad one....especially for Paraguay. Perhaps the largest percentage of adult males in a country's history.

Obviously they are far too religious and christian to fight wars.

 

[PlasmaDogPlasma]

Have we sold each of them enough weapons yet?

Very bad outcome for Bolivians. They became landlocked.

 

[McGarnicle]

I'll bet Obama regrets letting both countries develop nuclear weapons.

Like a fart in the wind

 

[The General]

Belize is building a wall getting those Guatemalans to pay for it.

They are just going to throw mangoes at each other...

Pete Helmes: What are the chances of war between them?

Bob Nixon: Very good sir. Our spare parts replacement contracts could be very lucrative.

Pete Helmes: Who trains their flight personnel?

Max Landsberger: Well, as near as we can assess it... well... they don't actually fly the planes. They sort of roll them down hills... crashing them into each other.

Scott Dantley: Personally, I think that it's a shameful waste of incredible kill power.

Pete Helmes: Make the deal.

Bob Nixon, Scott Dantley: Absolutely.
