uh-oh....not good.

Unless I miss my guess, there is a substantial American expat community in Costa Rica.

"How will the U.S. respond?"

Gee, I don't know...

[La Lydia]

We will do nothing. The State Department is completely absorbed in undermining Israel. And Obama is too brilliant and sophisticated to take note of something like this or do anything about it. Whatever ever his friend Daniel the Commie wants is just fine with him. Go ahead. Take the rest of Costa Rica. We don’t mind.

“Costa Rica, mind you, does not have an army”

Then they must feel there is nothing to protect.

This is just a friendly border dispute. Not like what’s-his-name taking over Czechoslovakia, right?

[Tallguy]

Initially, Managua alleged that an error made by Google maps was the reason Nicaraguan soldiers entered another sovereign nation. And while Google soon admitted an error in its map and corrected the mistake, Nicaragua, nevertheless, still claims the land as its own and hasn’t removed its troops from Costa Rica.

(Snicker) The "Google Maps War". That's got to be a first! Since when does anyone look to the internet and assume accuracy?

The Obama Administration is not going to do anything to Brother Ortega.

[The KG9 Kid]

Ortega is a communist degenerate, but this island has been in dispute between the two nations in question since a treaty in 1858. It's about a half square mile in size.

Costa Rica doesn't particularly adore the USA, either. They're committed to non-violence, abolished their military, became the headquarters for the UN's University of Peace, joined the International Criminal Court with no exemption for US soldiers, broke diplomatic ties with Taiwan, and have adopted all the Euro-lefty 'Green' initiatives like being 'carbon-neutral', and generally pretending to act like a Hispanic version of Tolkien's elves.

I'm not in favor of sending US Marines down there to bonk Nicaragua over the head for the umpteenth time to save some tiny little sandbar of a river island on behalf of Latin America's jackass version of San Francisco where the United State's left wing dickwads like to go on 'Eco-Vacations'. Costa Rica should try to cash in their chips of all that United Nations goodwill they think they've bought by acting like a Eurozone fairy and call the UN Blue Helmets to drive the Sandanistas out. Maybe some Belgian-led Congolese soldiers will show up to rescue them.

No Nicaraguan ever called me Gringo! No war for sandbars!

Your girlfriend’s going to Costa Rica ping, my little banana.

[Thunder90]

The US will respond by giving Venezuela ways to defeat our defenses, and by giving Russia our nuclear codes.
