Looks like Bolton baited the media snickers.

We have a very close military relationship with Colombia.

5,000 troops would need considerable staging and logistics and weapons and armor and artillery, etc. The Venezuelan civil war is not going to wait that long.

We can send in a Marine Corp MEU or two very quickly that would quickly secure the key areas and airfields.

Our Naval and Air Force airpower would quickly degrade any resistance.

Venezuela is moving most of its armor to the Colombian border.

The best squeeze is financial, Maduro won’t be able to pay the military and this will be over quickly.

Start bombing them with food rations.

That will bring around regime change quickly.

Speculative speculation on a rumor beleieved to be on a yellow pad

There can be no doubt that CNN revealed state military secrets and must be executed immediately

She left it an open question whether Bolton had slipped up, or knew exactly what he was doing:

Playing the press

At first I thought this was photoshopped. It isn't. This was deliberate and the press are idiots.

Good points. Any action by the US would mean a surrender within hours..if not minutes. As far as Colombia is concerned..the are good and train constantly with ours...but the lack the killer instinct.

We are not sending troops to Venezuela.

I'd like to believe you, but Congress didn't authorize going into Syria either and we can't seem to get out of there.

If Venezuela is not fixed then half their population will be here on our welfare roles.

This is disinformation. This was intended to be seen by the media. One note on the top page of a legal pad, and no other notes? The purpose is to cause Maduro to move some of his security forces to the border.

Bolton is a smart man, he did this intentionally.

That would be biggest blunder since Iraq and trying nation building in Afghanistan. Let Venezuelians deal with their own problems and offer support to capitalism and freedom loving candidates but troops, no! Bolton should be removed if he is that stupid to suggest. More fake news more than likely from those so-called “professional journalists” aka as partisan dumbasses.

"I suppose CNN never hesitated to announce this potentially sensitive information to the world?"

The bigger the damage possible to the country, the faster to publication. I hate these SOB's!
