Default Re: My case for can Venezuela get in before 2020?

Since Venezuela is back in the news:

From another forum:

"The Venezuelan-Colombian border is not all jungle,not by a long shot.

I'm about to blow some minds here but there is even a desert that spans both borders.

This suitability for armored warfare is why Colombia bought ATGMs from Israel when Venezuela bought so many tanks from Russia.

Colombia doesn't have heavy armor because their military has been focused on internal security rather than dealing with an external threat for pretty much 75 years. They were going to buy Spain's surplus AMX30s a few years ago but elected to go with more anti-tank missiles instead.

The Venezuelan army is being deployed along the border,as you can see this portion is scrub land.
