The possibility was in the air since the Armed Forces of Venezuela had begun their mobilization towards the border and the Colombian Military High Command saw it as a highly probable conflict hypothesis. How would the conflict unfold? How would it alter relations between the two countries in the long run? How would a war affect the internal politics of Colombia and Venezuela?
