Splicing the footage and presenting it in such a manner that it presented a fake narrative, i.e. that Trump has engaged in seditious acts, is as about as low as any shill can go. What the BBC did mirrored the antics of the worst of the worst in the Murdoch stable of sensationalistic tabloids!

Milei for all his regrettable as well as absurb personal behaviour and beliefs has been a godsend for Argentina's economy. His economic policy is the only way to undo the extreme boom and bust cycle created by decades of corruption, mismanagement, excessive spending and poor fiscal discipline.

Just what the world needs more privileged middle class white men from developed nations opining about Colombia, its history and struggle from the comfort and safety of their middle class first world countries.

Any such deal requires an admission of guilt, which Prince Andrew refuses to entertain, likely because it will not only mean a prison sentence, but civil litigation to the tune of tens of millions of dollars, which would likely bankrupt him!

Regime change under the pretext of cracking down on drug trafficking and fighting narcotics funded terrorists! Incidentally, Hezbollah, which has a significant presence in Venezuela, generates its second largest source of revenue, after funding from Iran, from narcotics, mainly cocaine, trafficking.

At least one of the boats attacked left from Colombia, not Venezuela. If Petro and Colombian authorities are to be believed, it was a fishing vessel crewed by Colombians.

Ironically, had Trump not reneged on his promises to Guaido in 2019, the Maduro regime would have been toppled by the May 2019 march on the Mira Flores presidential palace.

Obama's October 2009 agreement, which really just formalized existing undocumented informal arrangements, was invalidated by Colombia's Constitutional Court, because Colombia's Constitution doesn't allow the deployment of foreign troops on Colombian soil.

It should also be considered that prior to Obama's approval of the October 2009 agreement, the Uribe admin was pressuring the White House for greater military aid so as to defeat the FARC militarily. The old "commies under the bed" narrative is a great way to leverage US military aid.

All of that said, yes the deployment of US troops in Colombia is highly problematic, particularly with them being granted immunity from local laws coupled with a long history of misconduct in Colombia. There are also risks created by extending US military capability beyond Congressional oversight.

It is also worth noting that at that time, Washington was increasingly concerned by the growing presence of Hezbollah in Venezuela. By 2012 it was estimated that Hezbollah has a dozen training facilities in Venezuela protected and supported by the Venezuelan army.

The focus of that spending was to ensure the safety of US personnel and deploy troops to provide training and support for counternarcotics and asymmetric warfare / counterterrosim ops. A big part of deploying assets to Colombia was the loss of the anti-narcotics base in Manta Ecuador.

Yes, Obama renewed the agreement with Colombia allowing the deployment of US troops, including an increase in the number of trainers, technicians and logistics troops. He also allocated $46 million to base upgrades predominantly to support training and technical missions for non-combat troops.
