The commander of the United States’ Army South, the division that ousted Panamanian dictator Manuel Noriega in 1990, arrived in Colombia amid growing tensions with neighboring Venezuela.

General Mark Stammer’s arrival was announced on the day that US National Security Adviser Michael Bolton sparked concerns in Colombia after revealing a notebook in which he had written “5,000 troops to Colombia.”

. . .

The visit of Stammer comes as Bolton, the hard-line adviser to President Donald Trump, told reporters in Washington that “the president has made it clear that all options are on the table.”

Colombia’s President Ivan Duque, who is facing major domestic security issues, has refused to rule out military intervention in Venezuela in contrary to his predecessor, Nobel Peace Prize laureate Juan Manuel Santos.

I’m already looking to book a one way ticket out of the US, and this is giving me the impetus to do it sooner. I'm hoping to do human rights work in Europe somewhere.
And before anyone thinks I like Maduro, just don’t. I study this region for a living and US military intervention in Latin America is rarely good.
Just ask Guatemala’s 150,000 dead Mayas.

2. Operation KGOP Diversion ready to roll

All it needs is a big stinking green light from the KGOP republican Draft-Dodger-in-Chief, Comrade Dirty Donny (R).

P.S. All the KGOP repubes are obviously in dire need of prune juice. I'm just sayin...

3. Operation Tail Wag the Dog. This will not go well for either Trump or the Venezuelan people.

Did they get John Bolton's name wrong on purpose?
