Lets not get carried away. Moving tanks & troops to the border doesn’t mean they are ever going to cross the border. It’s probably just a lot of bluster.

For just a moment, imagine 10 battalions of the mexican military sent to our border. How would that strike you?

Maybe. Maybe not. That's the whole question, then, isn't it?

What would an insane megalomaniac do with such troops in such a place? It's impossible to say. Problem is, you can't predict what someone will do who has lost control of his senses.

Probably, Columbia outspends Venezuela about 2 to 1 in military % of GDP.

So it's highly likely monkey boy will get his ass kicked

VEnzueleans didn’t REALLY think all those guns the coke-chewing dictator bought were going to be used to defend against AMERICAN agression, did they??

There were those who said that when Saddam did this to Kuwait.

Matter of fact, it wouldn’t hurt the US to move men and tanks to our borders.

True but it costs big bucks to keep a standing army in a field...just standing.

Hugo already has economic problems.

He promised his supporters butter but they're getting guns.

Not good.
