#1 Hey, maybe they were itinerant explosives techs out practicing. Let's not jump to conclusions.

#3 Hugo needs to isolate his side from both the flow of information among the locales and suppress smuggling. We can't have the poor simply crossing the bridges to get unavailable necessities, that's for the elites to hop on over to another country to do. [read - the new 'Wall']

#4 Either things are getting Jonestown-weird in Hugograd, or they're preparing battlespace. It's the sort of thing I'd have done if I was trying to hide a logistical buildup, or distract from another one on a different axis.

Does anyone know what the current state of mobilization is for the Venezuelan military?

#5 It's a lot harder to hide things when there are eyes and ears in the sky... Surely we're sharing what we see with Columbia.

#6 Hooogos boys blew up a couple of wooden footbridges, mainly used for smugling. It was a show boom. As far has military movement by the Bolivarian Armed Farces....no, just no. There's no money in fighting.
