Colombia Craps Out!
For decades, the FARC and the Colombian Government have been locked in Civil War. Both sides have had successes and failures. But now, Colombia faces a new variable. By violating Ecuador’s sovereignty Colombia’s own Sovereignty can be violated. As Ecuador, Venezuela, and Nicaragua advance troops to their ”respective” Borders with Colombia what will stop them from attacking Colombia and annexing the country? The FARC could now hold the distinct position of being the Vanguard Force supported by a “Coalition of the Willing”.
The U.S. cannot afford to open another front, and right now the U.S. Dollar doesn’t buy much influence anyway. The billions of dollars in aid that Colombia receives from the U.S. may not be able to save it from this mess. Why? Because, despite all the funds that have already been dumped on Colombia the FARC has never been dealt a decisive blow. IF the FARC suceeds in rallying the support of Venezuela, Ecuador and Nicaragua the “Coalition” will topple Bogota.
This is the best chess match i’ve seen in years! Could we be witnessing the beginnings of the first major Western Hemisphere War of the 21st Century, and the erasure of the Colonial Borders of South America? Only time will tell.
