Brazil Deploys 14,000 Troops to Gran Columbia Border Amid Proxy Accusations
The Brazilian government has announced that an additional expeditionary division, consisting of some 14,000 soldiers, will be deployed to the border with Gran Columbia. It’s part of a series of measures aimed at deterring “border mafias” operating in neutral star systems.
