US Accuses Colombia, Colombia Bombs its Own People
The BBC reports the Colombian military killed 19 in an airstrike on a 'suspected rebel camp' just after the US accused President Petro of allowing the drug trade to 'expand.' One might almost call that timing… convenient. This isn't just about 'drugs'; it's about control over resources and political alignment. Washington has a long, documented history of using the 'war on drugs' as a pretext to
shape foreign policy, arm regimes, and destabilize those who don't comply. Remember 'Plan Colombia'? Billions in military aid, often used against social movements and legitimate political opposition, not just narco-traffickers. So, Washington criticizes, and Bogotá bombs. Are we to believe this brutal military action is a sudden, organic response to policing narcotics, or a swift demonstration of
'good faith' to their largest military aid donor? The BBC's discreet framing ('The air strike comes after the US accused...') leaves the causal link unsaid, but undeniably present. How many 'suspected rebels' must die to prove one's commitment to Washington's agenda?
