Colombia lifts ban on deportation flights after Trump tariff threat

It's funny how people think it we'll be over in 4 years. And even if it is what about the 4 after that or after that. America has just proven it is an unreliable partner again. The world should walk away. I mean it's crazy that China is more reliable at least you know who your dealing with.
-
I hope and can't wait for the first country to kick America out. Like get your bases out.

I mean... he didn't ban the flights in the first place. He just declared he would not accept his countrymen being treated poorly on return. I think the objection was packing them all in military planes instead of normal commercial flights your average person travels. It had more to do with mistreatment of their citizens in the process of repatriation, which is valid.
-
The citizens will still be mistreated. Why are you just blindly trusting Trump here?
-
-
If the Nazi have grabbed your citizens, please take them back. Leaving them in the hands of Nazis is a cruelty of its own.
-
How do you expect that to be achieved?
-
The flights were originally rejected. He even put out a statement on it. Then he backtracked.
-
That's where Trump will send you regardless of country of origin.
-
We need to make a global Alliance where if Trump tarriffs one country, every country responds with double the tarriffs.
-
China threatened 75% tarriffs when Trump mentioned 10% tarriffs. Don't see him following through with his threat yet.
-
Get your kinks off with someone who knows it's for fun.
-
After he got what he wanted from Trump, who capitulated immediately because the threat to tarrif Columbian imports was a bluff. Deliberately bumping the cost of coffee would be political suicide.
-
Buddy, this is fascism. Political suicide isn't a thing anymore.
-
The fascism persists only because it promises to be of benefit to its supporters.
Fascism falls apart when it fails to deliver them tangible benefits.
Trump's coalition is a house divided, he cannot provide his billionaire sycophants with economic benefits without taking them away from his voting base, and he can't do economic populism without disadvantaging the billionaires.
We're already seeing this with the H1-B visa debate. Musk, Zuckerberg, and Thiel want them for the cheap exploitable labor, and non-rich Republicans want the program to end for both anti-immigrant and economic nationalism reasons.

Well, if they are flown there, take them no matter the circumstances. What else could I have possibly meant by that?
If they're your citizens and they've been nabbed off the street in a hostile foreign country (USA) don't make them suffer for your principles and let them end up in some camp or holding cell, because that's what these nuts are gonna do. They 100% will be abused if they get rejected back out of Columbia, because that's a clear sign no one cares about their well being.
-
I thought you meant before they were flown there. That's why I asked.
-
Personally, I’ve stopped thinking, “he can’t be that stupid/crazy.” Every time I think that, he proves me wrong!
