   I mean #Petro is not only Colombia's first left wing president *ever*, he's frequently dropping truth bombs on the world stage, clearly opposing the genocide carried out by Israel.

   He's recently invited countries to cut relationships with Israel if they don't abide by the ceasefire mandated by the recent security council resolution.

   This was unthinkable from a Colombian leader just 3 years ago. We had always been a US client state, much as it pains me to accept it.

   The world changed.

     @pezmico too big of a pussy to mention Israel by name, the entity actually dropping the bombs.

     Meanwhile in Latin American news, #Petro has expelled Argentinean diplomats because #Milei called him a terrorist and a murderer.

     Feels weird to be on the side of a Colombian president, but Milei is honestly bananas. Petro was a guerrilla fighter but not a murderer. And he worked for a peace agreement.

     While far from perfect and with plenty of flaws, he's sincerely committed to his ideals (opposite to Milei's).
