Colombia’s President Abelardo de la Espriella mugged for the cameras and threw soccer balls at ground zero while actively blocking firefighters from rescuing earthquake survivors. Javier Guerrero, a Los Angeles-based Colombian activist, breaks down the “criminal" response to Colombia’s record 7.4-magnitude disaster. He explains why Bogotá rejecting rescue teams from Mexico, Brazil, and Canada — while fast-tracking those from the US and Israel — is no coincidence: De la Espriella is wasting no time to align with Washington and Tel Aviv, recognizing the Golan Heights and preparing to exit China’s Belt and Road Initiative: “This is de la Espriella announcing Colombia’s official colonial allegiance to the United States and Israel." But de la Espriella’s “law and order” crackdown on FARC, ELN and other groups threatens to return Colombia to full-blown civil war. Guerrero discusses the government’s documented history of false positives, and with “narco-terrorism” now the buzzword to justify Maduro’s ouster in Venezuela, Guerrero argues the label has become a political weapon against the left — even as de la Espriella’s own inner circle has proven links to actual drug trafficking themselves. A hard-right sweep is reshaping the region: De la Espriella joins Daniel Noboa, Keiko Fujimori, José Antonio Kast, and Javier Milei, all pulling their countries deeper into Washington’s orbit. As Bogotá signs on to the Shield of the Americas and Pete Hegseth announces joint military exercises on Colombian soil, Guerrero says this is Trump’s corollary to the Monroe Doctrine playing out in real time. And with US strikes now having hit Latin America twice this year, he warns direct intervention in South America is no longer a hypothetical — it’s the new normal.
