Columbia Venezuela: Frontier Surrounded By US Military Special Report

🚨 Crossing the Colombia–Venezuela Border as War Looms | On the Ground Report

I’m Patrick Lancaster, independent war correspondent.

After nearly 4 days and 70+ hours on the road, I arrived in Colombia attempting to enter Venezuela, where tensions are rapidly escalating amid U.S. threats, airspace closures, and talk of possible military action.

This video documents my real journey toward Venezuela — not from a studio, but from airports, buses, border towns, and chaotic crossings. What you’ll see here is what it actually takes to try to reach a potential war zone right now.
