PSUV telegraph's Chavista plan to "bomb with Sukois" Colombia bridges

Pedro Carreño betrayed to Colombia all the Venezuelan military strategy in case of war
Elizabeth Fuentes | July 9, 2018



translated from Spanish.

Caracas.- At least, PSUV leader Pedro Carreño put his Gucci loafers in the Sunday interview that José Vicente Rangel. And not only because he misused the word "misionó" (which really means preaching or giving sermons), but he was so excited about revealing what the Venezuelan military response would be in the event of a war with Colombia, which even mispronounced the model of the weapons that are going to be used to shoot down the Colombian planes because I call them Iglar when in fact they are Igla-S.

As if that were not enough, the well-dressed Carreño - armed with a map and a MontBlanc pen - explained to his enemies of the Colombian army where and how exactly it would be that the Sukoi planes would go to attack each of the seven bridges that cross the river Magdalena "that crosses from north to south to Colombia, to divide it in two". And to finish putting the cake, revealed that "The Psuv is going to join the prolonged people's war with 1,200 battalions" also revealing the number of civilian troops to fight, figure that surely generated an infinite laugh in the Colombian generals who fought and they defeated the guerrillas of the FARC and the ELN -which in their best times had more than 20,000 troops trained and in arms-, but were reduced after 50 years of "office" by the Colombian army, to only 6,700 men...

It goes on and on. Good for a laugh. Especially since the Colombian army has been hardened by 50 years of fighting Marxist/Leninist terrorists (FARC, ELN) and Venezuela has spent its time "rattling Bolivar's sword" at various boogymen, when not shaking down its own citizenry. The Venezuelan military is top heavy in Chavista officers (4000+ generals!) who haven't ever fired a weapon, and few dispirited enlistees who are malnourished and poor of morale.

Like you said, they have about 50 years experience in jungle fighting.
Not to mention, which side would the US rush weapons and ammo to?
