Via the BBC: Venezuela restores Colombia ties
Venezuela says it will immediately normalise diplomatic relations with Colombia, a week after ties were cut.

Ecuador, which accused Colombia of violating its sovereignty, has said it will take some time to restore ties.
I am guessing that this indicates that Ecuador’s Correa still hasn’t exactly forgiven the Colombians, as it is unclear why Ecuador would need more time than Venezuela to reestablish relations. Indeed, I want to say that Ecuador only recalled its ambassador, while Venezuela shut down their entire embassy, but I can’t find the story with the reference.
Regardless, it is amazing how quickly Chávez can go from a war footing coupled with high levels of belligerent rhetoric to everything being ok.
CNN notes the following:
“The Venezuelan government will send to Bogota, immediately, diplomatic personnel charged with representing the republic before the government of Colombia,” the Venezuelan government said in a statement posted online Sunday. “In the same manner, the Venezuelan government has communicated to the Colombia authorities their disposition to receive in Caracas, in a short time, the diplomatic personnel of the sister republic.”Sphere: Related Content

Remember how that worked out? Well, both Democrat Presidential candidates, and Democrats in Congress, are trying to do that again. […]
