Colombia Stops Sharing Intelligence With US Over US Strikes
Colombia’s decision comes after the US, which provides billions in annual aid, allegedly used shared intelligence to launch military strikes without Colombian consent. This isn't just about 'boats'; it's another chapter in US foreign policy where sovereignty is a suggestion for others but a divine right for Washington. Remember, the US has a long and storied history of intervention in Latin
America, from supporting coups to directly funding proxy wars, always in the name of 'stability' or 'drug control.' One might wonder how many times a nation needs to be treated as a subordinate rather than an ally before it says 'enough.' It appears some 'allies' eventually tire of being the junior partner in an arrangement where their requests for mutual respect are viewed as optional. Perhaps
the expectation was that recipient countries would simply be grateful for the aid and ignore the occasional unauthorized bombing run on their soil – a relationship strategy that seems increasingly outdated when the 'rules-based order' only applies to those not setting the rules.
