BOGOTA, Colombia (AP) — Colombia’s President Gustavo Petro said Wednesday there were “signs” that the last small boat attacked by the U.S. military off the coast of Venezuela was carrying Colombian citizens.
“A new front in the war has opened: the Caribbean,” Petro wrote on a social platform . “Signs show that the last bombed boat was Colombian with Colombian citizens aboard.”
He did not provide any explanation for what those signs were. “I hope that their families come forward and report it,” he added.
Neither Petro’s office nor Colombia’s Defense Ministry responded immediately to requests for additional information.
The U.S. government also has not identified who was aboard the boat, nor the three boats attacked previously.

The only means of influence you have over this is via the leaders of your own country complaining about this. Your concern is worthless otherwise. Just like any concern I would have over what is happening in Canada is worthless.

No one in this country in positions of power have any reason to take in consideration your concern about what the US is doing. You have 0, let me repeat, 0 leverage over them. You don't even have the leverage of the vote.

That is the point that is made when you are interjecting yourself in talks about a political system you have no power at all over.
