U.S. could intervene as Chavez prepares for war on Colombia
Venezuela threatened to declare war on neighbouring Colombia last night, raising the prospect of the U.S. being drawn into conflict in South America.
Venezuela’s Left-wing president Hugo Chavez ordered ten tank battalions to the Colombian border and put war-planes under emergency stand-by.
The tension follows Colombia’s decision to send its army to strike against anti-government guerrillas hiding in the jungles of Ecuador.
Nevertheless, not worth the bones of one single Pomeranian grenadier.
Curiously, Ecuador was in the news a few months ago, when Quito rejected an American demand to establish a military base in the country, stating that the only way they would allow it is if the Ecuadorian military could set up shop in America.
