The impact of Gustavo Petro's triumph in the United States

The triumph of Gustavo Petro in Colombia has the same impact on the United States as the loss of India to the British Empire. For more than a century, Colombia was the jewel in the crown of the North American empire, as this country, is the only one in South America with outlets to the Pacific and the Caribbean-Atlantic. The control over Colombia began with the naval blockade to support the independence of Panama after Colombia refused to sell Panama, where France had started the construction of the Canal and sold its rights over it to the United States when its construction was stopped due to a large number of deaths it caused. President Teodoro Roosevelt, the same one who waged war against Spain to seize Cuba, Puerto Rico, the Philippines, and Guam, started a civil war in Colombia to facilitate the independence of Panama, called the War of a Thousand Days, which is the civil war that produced the most deaths in the history of Colombia, due to the use of machine guns, which the United States sold to the Colombian liberals and conservatives so that they kill each other. Then, after the civil war in Costa Rica, caused by the United Fruit banana company, in which the army, financed and armed by the banana company, was defeated by the population, which led to the elimination of the army today in that country. So, United Fruit migrated to Colombia, settling in Urabá, on the Caribbean coast of Colombia, where after a massacre, recounted in the book One Hundred Years of Solitude, the guerrillas, the United Self-Defense Forces of Colombia, and the evil President Alvaro Uribe, from there UNITED FRUIT, came to Esmeraldas Ecuador and died in 1968, due to the agrarian reform and the Black Sigatoka plague.

Since 1968, the United States used Colombia to develop the anti-guerrilla war, or asymmetric war, against the communist guerrillas, who defeated it in Cuba, and Vietnam then turned Colombia into the axis of the war on drug trafficking, which is what It has made it possible to control the police, armies, media and justice in other countries such as Ecuador or Peru, which it has turned into the largest producers or exporters of cocaine, despite having US military bases in these countries. Cocaine from Bolivia, Colombia, and Peru was used to finance the contras in the Nicaraguan Civil War against the Sandinistas, which spread to Guatemala, Honduras, and El Salvador, the origin of the fearsome gangs.

Colombia is one of the richest and most biodiverse countries in South America, and in the world, Its governments for a century allowed the United States political, economic, and military control of the South American region, it was used to invade Panama, Guadeloupe, and to block Cuba and Venezuela. Here he developed strategies against the guerrillas and the leftist governments of South America, becoming part of NATO, he was the main actor, together with Peru, Ecuador, and Chile, to destroy UNASUR, and create PROSUR. He created Plan Colombia, which produced the first great migratory wave of South Americans, which originated in Colombia, followed by Ecuador, after the Bank Holiday, Argentina after the Corralito, and finally came the Venezuelan migratory wave, which is unstoppable until today. It also used Colombia as the axis of the Pacific Agreement and the blockade and invasion of Venezuela. Finally, Colombia became one of the main suppliers of mercenaries or contractors for the US Army, as well as drug traffickers, lenders or drop by drop and assassins.

Petro's victory could mean the rebirth of Gran Colombia, the original country of Ecuador, Panama, Colombia, and Venezuela, which were part of the Viceroyalty of New Granada or Santa Fe de Bogota, and the true germ of an Economic and Ecological Community since Alaska to Patagonia.
