"There won't be an invasion."

"I believe it's not going to happen."

We will not send military "to invade Mexico."

"There is no evidence that the U.S. is considering military action against Mexico or election interference."

"It [the idea of military strikes in Mexico] sounds good, but it's not real."

"Trump's history with this threat [to invade Mexico] suggests we should take it more seriously."

President Trump is committed to "using the full might of the United States special operations to take them [drug cartels] out [of Mexico]."

"If it takes military action [against Mexico], that's what we'll have to do."

US sending troops into Mexico "could happen."

"There’s no way they [US troops] can enter Venezuela."

"I don't think the USA is going to invade Venezuela."

The Trump administration "has shown no signs so far of clear intent for direct military action."

"No one in their right mind thinks that with 4,500 people you can invade a country that's got mountains, jungle and multiple urban centers."

"It appears as if Mr. Peace President is looking into invading Venezuela under the pretext that the whole country is an illegal drug cartel and Maduro is a fugitive and an illegitimate president."

"It is my belief the United States will invade and Occupy Venezuela by Jan 2026."

“Colombia can sleep soundly.”

"I cannot see the president actually – despite what he said – extending strikes into Colombia or to Cuba."

"It is unlikely the White House would take unilateral action given their historic cooperation with Colombian security forces."

"I don't believe that there will actually be a military strike or military intervention in Colombia. But the US is, of course, already exerting influence."

"But with elections coming up in Colombia in a few months' time, it's hardly worth it for the administration to attempt to remove Petro from power."

“[Peto] sees Trump and his threats no longer as empty, but as real possibilities.”

"I don't think the fact that Colombia is a long-standing ally of the United States is necessarily going to insulate it from potential action from the Trump administration, because I don't think that that's something that he considers to be a deal breaker."

“All nations of the region must remain alert, as the threat hangs over all.”

"The US is baring its teeth at Colombia."

"[Gustavo Petro's] not going to be doing it very long."

Will the U.S. Intervene in Colombia?

U.S. Southern Command (SOUTHCOM) said on Tuesday that the Joint Task Force Western Hemisphere conducted a lethal kinetic strike on a speedboat in the Caribbean, killing four people on board.

U.S. Southern Command (SOUTHCOM) said on Tuesday that the Joint Task Force Western Hemisphere conducted a lethal kinetic strike on a speedboat in the Caribbean, killing four people on board.

SOUTHCOM further said the vessel was operating along established narco-trafficking routes and that confirmed intelligence showed it was actively involved in narco-trafficking. Neither the identities of those killed nor the exact location of the strike has been disclosed.

This is the second such strike on alleged drug boats that the Joint Task Force Western Hemisphere carried out this week, following an operation in the Eastern Pacific on Sunday, after a two-month pause.
