Oil Wars writes: Today diplomatic relations with Colombia have been ruptured, after they invaded Ecuador to assassinate the FARC's second in command.
Troops have been mobilized to the border a hair trigger away from war.
It is evident Colombia thinks it is Israel, but without the military might to violate international law. Colombia (if it dared to pull the stunt again) would not last 2 seconds vs Venezuela and Ecuador combined.
Would the US intervene if Colombia were the aggressor again? doubtful, Uribe is banking way too much on an implicit defense pact. War would be over in a matter of days, at worse the US would try to buy time for it to get a task group near the area.

PS the opposition is taking Uribe's side again, sad and predictable that they take sides against us... I honestly doubt any other country would ever permit such a thing, including the US.

Oh, I think a war between Colombia and the ALBA countries would last longer than 2 seconds. And de facto it means that these countries would be at war with the U.S. oligarchy too. However, such an ugly little war would have its silver lining: the radicalizing and spreading of the socialist revolution thruout América Latina -- and the bolivarianization of Colombia. The only question would be: how much ugliness could the U.S. régime get away with injecting into the situation during the process.
