On the border with Colombia, three Venezuelan soldiers were wounded. Nicolas Maduro introduced a state of emergency in border areas
The border between Venezuela and Colombia is closed in five provinces: Bolivar, Independencia, Libertad, Ureña, and Junín. According to information TASSPresident Maduro announced that he was going to meet with the Colombian leader Santos and discuss the situation. The Colombian President is ready to meet with his Venezuelan counterpart.
So, on Wednesday, a shelling of Venezuelan territory from Colombia took place, as a result of which Venezuelan soldiers and a civilian were injured. A practically similar situation (only without casualties) occurred a couple of days ago in Israel and Syria: the Golan Heights, which Israel considers its territory, were fired on from the territory of Syria. But in the Middle East case, the Israeli authorities issued an instant order to inflict aviation and artillery strikes on the positions of the Syrian army, stating that Assad and his army are guilty of the shelling, as "they are responsible for everything that happens in Syria." It turns out that according to the same logic, "dictated", as they say in Israel, "international law", the Venezuelan authorities should have ordered not to impose a temporary state of emergency in the border areas, but immediately to inflict massive air and artillery strikes on the territory Colombia and the declaration of the President of Colombia illegitimate ... What would this lead to, and how would Israel and the United States react to it? - a separate question.
