Costa Ricans can be very angry and prideful, they will not back down.

If i'm not mistaken, Panama is allied more with the US, which means ultimately countries which oppose the US will need a canal which they can use.

Nicaragua has ties closer to Venezuela / Iran than the US.

If this article is true, I do not see Venezuela nor Iran all of a sudden giving up their plans to create their own canal.

My father in law told me of a dream where he saw war planes flying over Costa Rica, I never would have imaged that a war could start here, so I did not think much of it.

Now, I am not so sure.. strategically this makes sense for Nicaragua/Iran/Venezuela, and I don't see them backing down, nor do I see the US not supporting Costa Rica if this is in fact true.

We all know the US is looking for any excuse possible to get their hands dirty with Iran/Venezuela.
