ex-Chavista boss from Venezuela says, "To war with Colombia!"

Roy Chaderton: We are going towards a war with Colombia where we have military superiority
August 12, 2018

ND / 12 Aug 2018.- Former Foreign Minister Roy Chaderton assured this Sunday that Venezuelan democracy under Chavez is not only more civilized than the Colombian but also has military superiority, because we have "four ... instead of two ..."

This was said in the Sunday program of José Vicente Rangel by Televen when they asked about the attack against President Nicolás Maduro.

"What I can say is a word of warning, because it seems that they were exhausting the most radical, most horrific routes, with the exception of a military intervention. We know well that the neo-Granada oligarchy is very keen on us ... "

"Why?" JVR asked him.

"They think they are superior to us, they think they are more civilized, but we are much more and that seems to be difficult for them to understand, as a democracy, as a country ... I think that Bolivar himself did not affirm it, but he took that totally wrong thinking because it was supposed that the Colombians were more cultured than us and we were much more violent. It turned out that it was a bad interpretation because it is not that we are more violent, but that we are better warriors and it seems that the two ... we become four ... ".

Chaderton said we are on our way to a war with Colombia.

"I am part of the Pedro Carreño command, because I am one of those who believe that the war to which we are marching must be fought in Colombian territory, regardless of whether they invade us, we must march on Colombian territory and perhaps reach the Pacific, because at last and finally we liberate the countries whose coasts are bathed by the Pacific Ocean. And the Otan was like an orange light at a traffic light prepares us, not for us to stop but for us to move forward. An absolutely arbitrary interpretation on my part but I see it that way ".

He added: "I believe that we, despite the fact that there are more skeptical visions, have a military superiority but, just like the war of independence, we have human resources, that is, the four ... against the traditional two .... That is why we arrived in Ayacucho and we did not arrive in Buenos Aires because Santander, vice president of Colombia, full of envy, did not give the Libertador much less resources to attend to the calls made by the Argentine patriots to Bolívar. "

The ex-chancellor assured that as a diplomatic career professional he committed to achieve a "good relationship" with Colombia.

Well... there you have it. Can't make this shit up. But, that is Chavismo for you! And clearly, Mr. Chaderton thinks there is unfinished business in Argentina also!
