"BREAKING: Colombian President Gustavo Petro EXPOSES Donald Trump for murdering a "lifelong fisherman" with his Caribbean strikes — adding that Americans are not his "enemies" and the "problem is with Trump" who does not "understand" the "concept of humanity."
And he was just getting started with his fiery takedown...
"The boat attacked on September 16 was Colombian, had an engine on top as a sign of damage and was turned off, presumably it was in Colombian waters, who was there was a lifelong fisherman: Alejandro Carranza, who has not returned to his home," Petro wrote on X.
"Alert to the Attorney General of the Nation. I request that you act immediately. Grant immediate protection to the victim families and associate them, if they wish, with the victims of Trinidad and Tobago to initiate legal actions in the world and in the justice system of the United States," he added.
Trump has been carrying out a string of homicidal military strikes on boats in the Caribbean and claims that the victims were all narcotraffickers. He has provided no evidence for these claims. Even if they were drug smugglers — which seems increasingly unlikely –– they should have been arrested and tried in a court of law.
"US government officials have committed a murder and violated our sovereignty in territorial waters Fisherman Alejandro Carranza had no ties to the drug trade and his daily activity was fishing," Petro wrote in a followup post. "The Colombian boat was adrift and had its distress signal up due to an engine failure. We await explanations from the US government."
"Why, I wonder, doesn't a national news outlet care that a U.S. missile has killed a humble fisherman from Colombia in Santa Marta," Petro wrote in another post. "The USA destroyed a family of fishermen in the city that will host the summit of Latin America and Europe. The USA has invaded national territory with a missile fired to kill a humble fisherman, has destroyed his family, his children. This is the homeland of Bolívar and they are murdering his children with bombs. The USA offended the national territory of Colombia and killed an honest, hardworking Colombian. !Let the sword of Bolívar be raised.!"
In another X post, the Colombian president wrote that he respects the "history, culture, and people of the USA" and that Americans are not his "enemies."
"The problem is with Trump, not with the USA," he added. "Simply put, Trump does not understand how millions of young Americans could go fight for what seemed like a foreign cause: the war in Europe. Many fought and died there, those young people knew why they were fighting. They fought for humanity. The concept of humanity, Trump does not understand it."
Investigative reporter Seth Harp, author of the "The Fort Bragg Cartel" has been following these strikes closely and explained on X why it will prove hard for the Trump administration to hide what it's doing with these attacks.
"I've been talking about JSOC's wildly errant targeting for years, and predicting that if they ever did strikes in Latin America, we would be inundated with incontrovertible proof that US intel is dogsh*t, and these people have no idea whom they are killing," wrote Harp.
"Offensive US military ops are, by and large, random terrorism, but the 'surgical strike' myth persisted in Iraq, Afghanistan, & Syria because of linguistic barriers and the absence of credible governments there," he added in another post. "By contrast, 1/4 of Americans can read this and judge for themselves."
At this point, there is absolutely no reason to believe a word that comes out of Donald Trump's mouth. He's a pathological liar with the morality of a sociopath using the U.S. military to wage a murderous terror campaign. These strikes are designed to excite his MAGA base by projecting a strongman persona, while simultaneously driving us towards a new war to benefit the industrial complex and Big Oil.
We will not fall for the lies.
