The US may kill that new president over this.
Francia Marquez is his VP and she's in support of it too. They gotta kill both?
I mean, at this point, nothing else has worked, right?
I was just going to say congratulations to him on the victory and condolences to his family
But CIA has been slacking off lately with Chile electing a leftist for the first time in 40 years, Colombia going left now and Evo Morales back from exile. It will be interesting to see how this plays out.

Well idk if nothing worked... the FARC mostly disbanded a few years ago now though which was huge.
Colombia's Farc concludes weapons disarmament
President Juan Manuel Santos hails the final handover as the "last breath" of the 52-year conflict.

I watched a program on f24 I think this year where some of the former FARC members didn't feel enough was done to reintegrate members and some are still being target in retribution for their actions(which is probably do be expected)
There are other groups like FARC though in Colombia and a small faction of FARC continued to fight and then the cartels...
There seems to be more deep seated political issues with some of the Colombian groups that need to be addressed and the cocaine is just a mechanism they use to fund their insurgency.
That said I say legalize it and I think the US should too it would solve a lot of problems in the US and abroad

This won't gain any real actionable traction, the US is major supporter of Colombia, and no administration in the US will back this. This is radical proposal though. The idea is fairly ludicrous in execution, considering, who are the major purchasers of Colombian cocaine? Mexican drug trafficking organizations.
CJNG, Sinaloa Cartel are the major players, so the Colombian government will supply them through fair trade markets, ton quantities of cocaine for importation to the US, to groups that are on the OFAC list, under indictment? That would be enough to indict the ranking political leadership of Colombia and whatever state backed business.
The Southern District and DC has already shown willingness to investigate, indict, extradite and convict members of Honduras and Venezuela governments. This policy is like Lopez Obrador nonsense.
Some of those paramilitary trafficking groups were communists right? Like the Carlos Lehder generations. And they fought the fascist government. The FARC was right wing.

FARC were leftists... Marxists.
It depends how it turns out in the country of origin. The reason they were able to indict Hernandez in Honduras was cause the place really turned into a Narco State. Colombians probably won't let that fly. Hernandez was in on the scheme. But it is veey complex and nuanced. Much more than this paragraph
