Venezuela's Maduro cuts ties with Colombia amid border conflict
It's similar to India- the Brahmins & Rajputs still rule over the lower castes. Only 2 countries in L. America had native presidents: Mexico & now Bolivia. The US is trying to eliminate the last pockets of left ideology & exclude China & Russia from gaining any foothold there.
Perhaps the Tu-160s visit was the last straw.
Trump & those he represents need to avoid the JFK mistake of not toppling Castro to prove that he's not a friend of Putin so he can proceed with his domestic/immigration reforms unobstructed from the right.
As in the Vietnam War, Brazil & Colombia of will play a part of Thailand & Philippines, while Cuba (pop. 11.48M) & Nicaragua (pop. 6.2M) will play a part of China, USSR, Laos & Cambodia. In 1970, population of Vietnam was ~43.4M https://www.populationpyramid.net/viet-nam/1970/
Venezuela population in 2016 was ~31,5M

The coming war will destabilize Colombia, Brazil, & possibly Peru & Ecuador as well.
