“The two Americans were identified as Luke Denman and Airan Berry, both previously U.S. Special Forces soldiers, also known as Green Berets. However, another former Green Beret, Florida-based Jordan Goudreau, is saying he orchestrated the botched attack from Colombia.”

Hmmm, curious.
I wonder if there isn't an Intelligence Officer somewhere in the shadows of all this. "Don't worry Bro, anything goes wrong, I got your back on this. Me and the entire weight of the US Government will move heaven and earth to get you home".
And then his cell number was no longer in service.

Naah, never happen.

I told my wife, "If, IF, someone in the CIA is behind this, it's some rogue dude in the Argentinian office who is bored off his gourd."

This strikes me as pretty much just Oath Keeper'ish-type behavior. Where someone thought, "Fuck it, let's go cause a little ruckus."

Shame, people with those kinds of talents could do productive things with their time, than undertaking a poorly planned operation - https://www.freeburmarangers.org/

I considered that too, but one mark of the SF dudes, no matter what branch, is being highly intelligent.
This does not reek of high intelligence.

I really hope you are right, because the current administration does not need to be involved in any failed "The Dogs of War" type operations. I think there hands are pretty full right now with Covid-19

While I agree, our Nation's best soldiers are generally among the brightest. BUT...anyone can fall off the intelligence wagon with enough time and low effort.

It's the only explanation for why people are still communists.

Disagree. It will have been sanctioned but disavowed..."if caught, you're on your own" sort of op.

It's funny you should mention that.

I think the intern would put together a better plan than this.

Are we sure someone's 13 year old kid didn't plan this thing?
