Default Venezuela Mobilizing- troops/tanks to Colombian border/Closing Embassy
Quote:
Venezuela 'sends tanks to border'

Venezuelan President Hugo Chavez is sending thousands of troops and tanks to the border with Colombia, marking a sharp escalation in regional tensions.
Speaking on his weekly television show, President Chavez also said Venezuela's embassy in Colombia would close.

Mr Chavez said he was reacting to the "cowardly murder" of a leading Farc rebel by Colombian forces in a raid just inside Ecuador on Saturday.

Default how many thread will you initiate on this same topic?
mods need to ombine these. someone posts opposition to the bullcrap you posit and you start a new thread rather than respond to the opposition.

It's recent because when the Ecuador news came in, that was before this happened. Do you see how the whole 'time' thing works? Need me to run over this again?

More proof that Venezuela blowing this out of proportion and is going to try and move into Colombia to provoke a war.

Venezuela's president, Hugo Chavez, yesterday formally ordered the nation's armed forces to be on high alert, the closure of Venezuela's embassy in Colombia and the mobilization of the nation's armed forces to the Colombia border.

"We are at a state of alertness. I am putting Venezuela on alert and we will support Ecuador," Chavez told his regular Sunday broadcast Alo Presidente. "Defense minister: move 10 battalions to the Colombia-Venezuela border. Tank battalions, military aircraft: deploy!" he ordered.

During the same broadcast, Chavez strongly condemned the killing of Luis Edgar Devia, better known by the alias Raul Reyes, who was the de facto foreign minister for the Revolutionary Armed Forces of Colombia (FARC), that nation's largest armed rebel group.
