The Netherlands planned U.S.-supported invasion of Suriname in 1986

The Netherlands planned U.S.-supported invasion of Suriname in 1986: "'De Volkskrant' reported that the Netherlands had drafted a detailed plan in late 1986 to arrest Bouterse, who led the South American country as a dictator from 1980 until 1988 and was recently elected as the nation's president. If the plan would have been carried out, the Netherlands would have sent hundreds of troops with the support of the United States, which stood ready to provide Navy ships, planes and helicopters in support of the invasion."
