Strangely, Venezuela mobilizes arms to the borderArtillery trucks mobilized missiles and anti-aircraft weapons by the Zulia state in Venezuela. This strange mobilization would go, according to information confirmed in Colombia and Venezuela , to the border area by the Táchira state .
The weapons, which were already identified by the Colombian authorities, correspond to Russian-made weapons that have a range of 90 km distance, and is that just hours before a Venezuelan deputy said in an interview that there was a plan to attack Colombia.
The scenario of the war will be given there in Colombia, we have weapons in case they want to attack us ... even, we could get to Bogotá or shoot down planes as soon as they take flight argued the politician Pedro Carreño.
The tension is constant, the retaliation of President Nicolás Maduro to Colombia insisting on a threatened do not stop, for this the Colombian Armed Forces maintain the alert in the areas of La Guajira, Norte de Santander, Casanare, Arauca, Vichada, Guainia and part of the Amazon.
Members of the Military Forces of Colombia receive special training in programs of Red Flag, NATO, UNITAS in the United States. For this while there are provocations there will be no response.
The elected president, Iván Duque, has said that there will be no ambassador in the neighboring country and that Colombia will withdraw from Unasur.

Yet another attempt by Maduro and his merry morons to try to divert attention away from the chaos that is Venezuela.
Wholesale defections from the military, where the soldiers who remain are emaciated.
PdVSA employees leaving their formerly sought after jobs. Chavista "volunteers" enlisted. Oil output at 1940 levels.
Unions on strike. Nurses. Doctors. Transportation. (Maduro blames the unions for whatever he doesn't blame on the US)
No food. No medicine. No teachers.
Yet Maduro's morons insist that they are prepared to take the war to Colombia, whose military is well supplied and battle tested and ready to fight (50+ years fighting FARC and ELN) at a moments notice.
Can you say, "Falklands"?

Padrino López urged to close ranks in the face of threats
Colombian military mobilization rejected and said that Venezuela declares itself in zone of peace
UN.- The Minister of Defense, G / J Vladimir Padrino López , urged the people and the Bolivarian National Armed Forces to close ranks in the face of threats by the mobilization of Colombian military forces on the border, especially Zulia, Tachira and Apure.
During the transmission of command in five Strategic Regions of Integral Defense (Redi), he indicated that it is necessary "to defend our country to free it from all danger, from all the threats always present on that border".
"We declare ourselves an area of peace, hopefully we will not take steps backwards against the current," he said.
In the Central Redi assumed Domingo Hernandez; in the Redi Los Andes, Manuel Bernal Martínez; in Redi Los Llanos, Víctor Palacios García; in Redi Oriental, William Serantes Pinto, and in Redi Occidental, Fabio Zavarce Pavón.

The only people crossing the border INTO Venezuela are ELN terrorists seeking sanctuary with the Chavistas. Everyone else is fleeing the Venezuelan disaster.
