US Sanctions Colombian President, Not Drug Cartels Funding Wars
Funny how the US suddenly remembers 'drug trade allegations' when a democratically elected leader questions its foreign policy or seeks regional independence, as President Petro has done by advocating for peace talks and questioning Washington's 'war on drugs.' Is this the same rigorous vetting applied to, say, Saudi princes or Israeli leaders whose regimes have their own, shall we say,
'questionable' financial dealings? The silence around state sponsors of terror who happen to buy American weapons is deafening, isn't it? This isn't about drugs; it's about control. Sanctioning a national leader over allegations, while maintaining cozy ties with governments that fund proxy wars and destabilize entire regions (often through illicit means themselves), raises critical questions about
whose 'security interests' are truly being protected. Funny how America’s 'deep concern' for corruption only appears when it can strategically destabilize a leftist government. How many more 'allies' will be 'disciplined' for not toeing the line before the script becomes transparent?
