๐ช๐จ Ecuador rejects return of foreign military bases โ referendum results
Ecuadorians have voted against allowing foreign military bases in the country, according to preliminary results reported by Reuters, with nearly two-thirds opposing the measure as almost 90% of ballots were counted.
The proposal โ backed by President Daniel Noboa as part of his security strategy โ would have opened the door to shared or foreign military facilities inside Ecuador, which has prohibited foreign bases since 2009.
๐ก Some voters voiced concerns over sovereignty, Reuters noted.
President Noboa said he โrespected votersโ willโ and would continue working to improve the country. Former President Rafael Correa welcomed the result, saying Ecuadorians had effectively reaffirmed the current constitution.
โ๐บ๐ธ A โnoโ vote, Ecuadorean authorities previously told Reuters, would not change existing security cooperation agreements โ but it does mean no return of foreign bases such as the former US presence in Manta.

๐๐บ๐ธ US potential invasion of Venezuela could become โNEW VIETNAMโ
Although a scenario of the US invading Venezuela is possible, itโs โhighly doubtfulโ that America would be able to gain a foothold there, Brazilian analyst and retired Navy officer Robinson Farinazzo told Sputnik.
๐ Farinazzo suggested that the scenario could turn into a โnew Vietnamโ for the US, referring to the 1955โ1975 Vietnam War.
Explaining his position, the analyst noted that Venezuela is a large country with a population of many millions, a sizable militia and a well-armed regular army.
