Which Nation Is Next?

If Donny spent as much time working on the economy as he does threatening nations we would be better off.

He threatens Venezuela, Nigeria, Somalia and now he issues a new threat….this time it is Colombia….

President Donald Trump warned Colombian President Gustavo Petro he better “wise up” because “he’s next” in what would be an expansion of the administration’s efforts to stop alleged drug smuggling operations in the Caribbean.

While speaking to reporters at the White House on Wednesday, Trump was asked about Petro’s criticism of U.S. strikes on alleged drug boats in the Caribbean. Petro has referred to the efforts as “barbarian.”

Trump has defended the strikes, alleging that the boats are headed to the United States and pose a direct threat. He’s accused Venezuela President Nicolás Maduro, whose election victory has been contested, of being behind the drug smuggling operations.

The president warned Petro he’s the next one in the administration’s sights. Trump has blasted Petro before, calling him a “thug.”

He said on Wednesday:

He’s been fairly hostile to the United States and I haven’t given a lot of thought. He’s gonna have himself some big problems if he doesn’t wise up. Did he say Colombia’s producing a lot of drugs? They have cocaine factories that they make cocaine, as you know, and they sell it right into the United States. So he better wise up or he’ll be next. He’ll be next. I hope he’s listening. He’s gonna be next. Because we don’t like people when they kill people and they sell drugs, they kill [people] in the United States, and Colombia is a major manufacturer of drugs, meaning cocaine in particular, as you know.

In October, Trump similarly blasted Petro and threatened “serious action” against Colombia.

“He’s hurt his country very badly, they’re doing very poorly, Colombia,” the president said at the time. “They make cocaine — they have cocaine factories. They grow all sorts of crap — that’s drugs, bad drugs coming into the United States, goes generally through Mexico. And he better watch it, or we’ll take very serious action against him and his country.”

This whole scenario is getting a bit tedious.

All this and the flow of drugs will not cease…..it has not in 50 years and what makes anyone think Donny can change that?

This is a waste of time and energy (no pun intended)….

  1. Trump couldn’t even find Columbia (or Venezuela for that matter) on a map and he certainly doesn’t give a damn about the illegal drugs. He’s desperately trying to draw attention away from the dismal failures of himself and his administration and there’s nothing quite like a nice little war to do that.

    1. That’s what I thought as well when he started to spout that nonsense about Greenland. Everything he was saying about “acquiring” Greenland echoed almost word for word the same rhetoric that was used by the Nationalsozialistische Deutsche Arbeiterpartei in you-know-who’s ranting speeches in the late 1930s

  2. I tend to think that Trump’s overwhelming lack of personal worth drives him. Consider how he wants his name and face everywhere. And taking over countries is just another step in that direction. In fact, I would even go so far as to say he may eventually want to replace images of Jesus with his likeness!
