Colombian voters handed conservative outsider Abelardo de la Espriella, known colloquially as “El Tigre,” a hard-fought victory in Sunday’s presidential runoff.
The Americas are tired of learned hopelessness. Voters want leaders who treat crime as crime, cartels as enemies, borders as borders, and prosperity as something built by producers rather than redistributed by bureaucrats. De la Espriella’s challenge will be governing through a fragmented congress while proving that security can be restored under law, not vengeance. But the mandate is unmistakable. Latin America’s conservative-populist wave is not nostalgia. It is a survival response to violence, corruption, socialism, and globalist drift. If Trump aligns the hemisphere around security, energy, trade, and anti-cartel cooperation, the MAGA renaissance becomes continental.
Let's hope this continues and perhaps can be reversed in some places. They JAILED Bolsanaro in Brazil....after first trying to kill him multiple times.
Latin American countries continually swing between the right and the left and Colombia is no different.
Plan Colombia under Uribe was supposed to have destroyed the cartels but nothing of the like ever happened. This will be no different. The US needs to look inward and solve its own problems before pretending that it can resolve problems elsewhere or worse yet place the blame on others.
Of course isolationism solves nothing but blaming others for your own problems also resolves nothing.
Furthermore the US conduct overseas often is in direct contradiction to US laws. As an example the US was attacking ships accused of drug trafficking yet I have yet to see attacks on suspected vehicles within the US.
I believe in innocent until proven guilty in a court of law. In the US the govt respects that yet elsewhere the death penalty is enforced without even a trial.
Praise God. It's truly amazing what can be accomplished now that USAID is gone.

Isolationism solves nothing...least of all the host Country.

Operating on a realistic international stage has nothing to do with "blaming others for your own problems".
Sorry to see you are so affable towards Drug Traffickers and by inference so NON-affable to its victims in Latin America as well as the US.
