> […] i hope we provide aide to Columbia to help with expenses
Just so you know, the English spelling is “Colombia” (O instead of U) [1].
If you say “Columbia” (U instead of O) you are talking about the historical female personification of the United States of America, and a poetic name for the Americas [2]. I don’t know why people make this mistake so many times, even looking at this list [3] I cannot find any reference to “Columbia” as the name for the country.

The misspelling of the country is a pet peeve of mine as well, but I don't think it's confusing why people make it - they simply think it's spelled the same way as all of the other Columbia's they read about.
I am use to typing it that way for the District of Columbia. That is not an excuse, but that is why it is probably misspelled a lot.
Russian PMCs are now acting as the personal guard of Venezuelan President Maduro. This article also states that Russia is investing billions of dollars to back the country. https://www.reuters.com/article/us-venezuela-politics-russia...
At the same time, allowing an inept criminal syndicate friendly with the Russians to starve millions of people some hundreds of miles off the shores of the US is hardly a good idea either.
I'm generally against intervention but hopefully the Maduro regime is taken down somehow. This is hardly a fringe position either, most of South America and Europe has adopted the same position.
If anything I feel the US should be more involved there and less involved in the Ukraine and Syria.
So, fine ... Russia may be doing something there now. I don't know. But let's not be amnesic and remember that this situation persists since decades.
But you said it was "first you heard of that" or similar?
This "situation" is becoming worse. Hopefully it resolves soon.
I wish the US would do a fast track for Venezuelan migrants, or at least i hope we provide aide to Colombia to help with expenses.
And if Argentina is helping too they get massive kudos as well.
