interesting idea but in the pictures, it doesn’t look all that stormy though

Yet no one has any trouble with the daily Dept. of Homeland Security and US Coast Guard flights along the Pacific Coast to keep CR free of cartel. Wake up! Not having an army and having and understaffed, underfunded, undertrained and corrupt police force means you gotta get help from somewhere. Don’t bite the hand that protects.

Buenas dias Larry.Thanks for the reply.
You are right and C.R. has had run ins with the Niko but the world court has made judgements against them and has worked well. C.R. is recognised as a democratic republic and in that we are protected by other democracies.For over sixty years C.R. has survived without an army.That in itself is amazing. The big advantage for C.R. is we have nothing to offer the world except produce.No gold,no silver and no oil. C.R.is hardly a target to any major power. C.R. is strategic only to it’s residents of which I am one and proud to be.

Oh brother Costa Rica mentality what a joke. You wouldn’t be crying if they were coming to help ,but maybe they would. Go Vargas. They don’t have an army because we protect them. Sounds like they were sightseeing .

When they complain about things like that it just spotlights just how bad off the government in Costa Rica is. Lawmakers crying because one part of the government approved it while stepping on their toes because only the Legislature has the power to approve such a thing… Too funny.
