3. Well considering Colombia is mostly

a puppet of Tio Sam, I wouldn't be surprised at all. Then again we have been as critical of Colombian paramilitary killing citizens in Columbia right? Right? Oh yeah, we don't criticize our "friends" or those that buy into the capitalist dream.

4. You know what's far more believable than the conspiracy theory you posted?

The fact that Venezuela is going to hell in a handbasket, that the "Great Socialist Revolution" is a big fat failure, and Maduro is taking cues from his old buddy Mugabe in Zimbabwe, crime, inflation and government oppression is out of control.

So Maduro is making all this noise about "The Enemy," in a desperate attempt to distract from all his colossal failures and corruption.

6. "...considering Colombia is mostly a puppet of Tio Sam..."?

Well, I'd think the Colombians would disagree with that insufferably patronizing and insulting remark, gringo.
