🤦

petro is not wrong; but he's given the americans full blessings to regime change columbia and absolutely no one in the west will come to his aid; not even his fellow latin americans out of fear of pissing off the americans.

PLEASE prove me wrong!!!

As if the US ever needed someone's blessing to perform a coup.

difference is that now they don't have to invent a reason like iraqi wmd's

the point is moot however, the colombians have already caved like the americans wanted them to.

Sorry, did we invent reasons for the rest of our South American coups? We did like 20 of em in the last century. Just pretended the CIA wasn't involved.

Yes: it was either the "war on drugs" or the Monroe doctrine

Petro is from Colombia. Columbia is in Canada.

Nope mate, Latin America is split into left and right. The left will do left things and the right will do right things.

We'll see. Honduras looks like it's trying to align everyone in the Americas.
