This comes as Venezuela has reportedly moved military armaments and ammunition to Colombia\u2019s border as well. Meanwhile, Russia has threatened the U.S. amid announcing its withdrawal from the Cold War Intermediate-Range Nuclear Forces (INF) Treaty, following suit by suspending the agreement.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Although it\u2019s not&nbsp;<em>5,000&nbsp;<\/em>troops along the border; a source said the U.S. was propagandizing 5,000 troops on John Bolton\u2019s notepad to hide a larger troop count of 30,000+ proposed to Colombia.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">This writer\u2019s source stated that recently a former Pentagon official stressed the fact that if the U.S. was to get militarily involved it would need way more than 5,000 troops.
