The USA's expensive $8 billion 'Plan Colombia' seems to have worked...on one level.
Narcos have slowed and even stopped processing coca into cocaine there...but only to move production to Venezuela, Bolivia, Peru and Ecuador.
They have shifted to nations where leaders are ambivalent or loath to work with the USA.
