Hopefully all goes well in this mission. Not sure why they are waiting almost a week to carry the aid though?

I bet the US military has been in Columbia for weeks, but the story is just now getting out.

Sounds like they are doing it the right way, coordinating with Brazil, the OAS, etc., and only bringing it to the border.

Cucuta.....my old stomping grounds

The real back doors to Venezuela are La Guajira and Valledupar

Colombia could conquer Venezuela these days and recreate GranColombia

I think they’d need Ecuador and a chunk of Peru to complete it

Colombians are a tough room

“..President Nicolás Maduro has alleged that the aid is part of a US plot to disguise an invasion into Venezuela.”

Why exactly are we helping these a**holes??

Guaidó invoked Venezuela’s constitutional crisis provisions—Articles 233, 333, and 350—which empower the president of the National Assembly to assume interim presidency of the country to restore the democratic order. He has already begun this process. Guaidó has offered amnesty to any military officers who disobey the dictatorship and has indicated he would do the same for Maduro if he were to allow free and fair elections.

Maduro is going to do what all despots do when the aid gets there. He’s going to claim that he made it rain.
