Colombia is already caving to Donald Trump after he threatened steep economic and diplomatic sanctions when they refused to accept flights of migrants being deported from the U.S.

Hmmm. What happens when the gather a planeload of Chinese criminals? Eventually...
The obverse side of the marxist coin
They will prevent money and talent from leaving, and they will not allow back the criminals they export.
39 minutes, to be precise.
What winning looks like.

UPDATE:
Colombia agreed to pick up these illegals but is NOT yet agreeing to future deportation flights. All sanctions are moving ahead until they relent.
Don’t mess with America.

New Statement | President of Colombia responds to emergency tariffs from Trump.
TRANSLATION OF STATEMENT FROM PRESIDENT OF COLOMBIA.
Trump, I don’t really like travelling to the US, it’s a bit boring, but I confess that there are some commendable things. I like going to the black neighborhoods of Washington, where I saw an entire fight in the US capital between blacks and Latinos with barricades, which seemed like nonsense to me, because they should join together.
I confess that I like Walt Whitman and Paul Simon and Noam Chomsky and Miller.
I confess that Sacco and Vanzetti, who have my blood, are memorable in the history of the USA and I follow them. They were murdered by labor leaders with the electric chair, the fascists who are within the USA as well as within my country.
I don’t like your oil, Trump, you’re going to wipe out the human species because of greed. Maybe one day, over a glass of whiskey, which I accept, despite my gastritis, we can talk frankly about this, but it’s difficult because you consider me an inferior race and I’m not, nor is any Colombian.
So if you know someone who is stubborn, that’s me, period. You can try to carry out a coup with your economic strength and your arrogance, like they did with Allende. But I will die in my law, I resisted torture and I resist you. I don’t want slavers next to Colombia, we already had many and we freed ourselves. What I want next to Colombia are lovers of freedom. If you can’t accompany me, I’ll go elsewhere. Colombia is the heart of the world and you didn’t understand that, this is the land of the yellow butterflies, of the beauty of Remedios, but also of the colonels Aureliano Buendía, of which I am one, perhaps the last.
You will kill me, but I will survive in my people, which is before yours, in the Americas. We are peoples of the winds, the mountains, the Caribbean Sea and of freedom.
You don’t like our freedom, okay. I don’t shake hands with white slavers. I shake hands with the white libertarian heirs of Lincoln and the black and white farm boys of the USA, at whose graves I cried and prayed on a battlefield, which I reached after walking the mountains of Italian Tuscany and after being saved from Covid.
They are the United States and before them I kneel, before no one else.
Overthrow me, President, and the Americas and humanity will respond.
Colombia now stops looking north, looks at the world, our blood comes from the blood of the Caliphate of Cordoba, the civilization of that time, of the Roman Latins of the Mediterranean, the civilization of that time, who founded the republic, democracy in Athens; our blood has the black resistance fighters turned into slaves by you. In Colombia is the first free territory of America, before Washington, of all America, there I take refuge in its African songs.
My land is made up of goldsmiths who worked in the time of the Egyptian pharaohs and of the first artists in the world in Chiribiquete.
You will never rule us. The warrior who rode our lands, shouting freedom, who is called Bolívar, opposes us.
Our people are somewhat fearful, somewhat timid, they are naive and kind, loving, but they will know how to win the Panama Canal, which you took from us with violence. Two hundred heroes from all of Latin America lie in Bocas del Toro, today’s Panama, formerly Colombia, which you murdered.
I raise a flag and as Gaitán said, even if it remains alone, it will continue to be raised with the Latin American dignity that is the dignity of America, which your great-grandfather did not know, and mine did, Mr. President, an immigrant in the USA.
Your blockade does not scare me, because Colombia, besides being the country of beauty, is the heart of the world.
I know that you love beauty as I do, do not disrespect it and you will give it your sweetness.
FROM TODAY ON, COLOMBIA IS OPEN TO THE ENTIRE WORLD, WITH OPEN ARMS, WE ARE BUILDERS OF FREEDOM, LIFE AND HUMANITY.
I am informed that you impose a 50% tariff on the fruits of our human labor to enter the United States, and I do the same.
Wow quicker than Joe Biden can pardon his family before the end of his term
We can grow coffee along the banks of the new American Canal, so screw him.
He effed around and found out.
Fast.
Let this be a lesson to others.
There is a little rope-a-dope going on here, but I am confident that Columbia will come around completely.
As important is the fact that other countries will realize DJT is not bluffing and he has a better hand. Making an example of a weaker enemy is a strategy of strength.
A big Nelson Ha-Ha!
Is he the illustration for “Nutcase Country Leader” at Wikipedia?
Going forward every nation should be required to send planes to pick up their citizens - and pay for all incidentals.
If they don’t have the necessary planes the U.S. should return the offenders home on charter flights and send the parent country the bill.
Fair is fair.
I took a nap and we won a trade war in all of two hours. Can’t rest for a moment without missing more WINNING.
Thanks.
GREAT POST!
This ‘tard needs to be going after his Spanish former colonists.
Forget Orange Man Bad, he has his own History to straighten out.
