Gee, I don't know...

uh-oh....not good.
Unless I miss my guess, there is a substantial American expat community in Costa Rica.
Gee, I don't know...
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.
bttt
“Costa Rica, mind you, does not have an army”
Then they must feel there is nothing to protect.
That’s true. A lot of Americans retired to Costa Rica. It’s also a great place for fishing, so many Americans have vacation homes there. Costa Rica is in general a friendly, pleasant place.
The neocons at the Weekly Standard are always looking for new excuses to send our young men and women to die in the trenches.
geesh.
This is just a friendly border dispute. Not like what’s-his-name taking over Czechoslovakia, right?
(Snicker) The "Google Maps War". That's got to be a first! Since when does anyone look to the internet and assume accuracy?
Perhaps. But if we aren’t going to act to prevent Iran from getting nukes, we sure won’t act against Nicaragua. On the other hand, Obama may be looking to kick over a ‘Tomato Can’. If that’s the case I would point to the quagmire that Clinton narrowly avoided in his air war against Serbia over Kosovo. THAT was a circus.
The Obama Administration is not going to do anything to Brother Ortega.
Once a very European place, CR is becoming very much less so due to faster breeding among the "Natives," and an influx of bad-boy illegals from Nicaragua, who have boosted the crime rate way up.
The San Juan River and Lake Nicaragua are a natural canal route and long before the Panama Canal, were a popular shortcut to the Pacific thanks to Vanbderbilt's steamers on the river, a short mule ride to the lake, another short train ride and thence to the sea.
CHICOM are behind this, with Chavez, Fidel and Raoul backing up the creepy commie, Ortega. Trouble.
I talked with a sister-in-law (BIG lib) about their vacation to Costa Rica. She loved the place because it was “so progressive”. They have no military, the government owns most of the property, and they have extensive social programs.
... and they get easily taken over by a neighboring beligerant socialist country.
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.
Yeah, that's Costa Rica. You look at who goes down there on vacation and it's all post-middle age American women who adopt lefty causes and wear big sun hats, visiting the magical 'dolphin experiences' and cuddling baby tree sloths, accompanied by their 'life partner' bearded male friends who wear high tech sandals with woven bracelets carrying colorful Guatemalan packpacks who talk about ecology and the biosphere, and whatever the hell else between bong loads. Basically the last white people still supporting Obama.
Gosh, sorry that your magical eco-sphere and it's tourist-based economy is being threatened by belligerent little brown people with Chinese-made AKMs. Better call someone who cares.
That’s what I’ve heard - very pleasant and friendly.
