Gustavo Petro responds to Trump: “Overthrow me…the Americas and humanity will respond”

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

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.

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.

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

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.


The US and (some of) its vassal states also happen to be more or less the only majority English speaking countries in the world, and so get to set the meaning of "America" (singular) when used in English.

With that said, the translation reads "the Americas" (plural) which unambiguously refers to the two continents.

Nobody except the US and its vassal states refer to it as America. It's the United States. The Americas are a huge continent of which the US and Canada are but a settler blight in.

🤦

petro is not wrong; but he's given the americans full blessings to regime change colombia 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!!!

Don't expect too much of the americans.

I don't know but I feel he's playing with fire here
