“There is no money for protection from hurricanes, but Ukraine has 100 billion”: the President of Colombia criticized the West at the UN General Assembly because of military assistance to Ukraine

Colombian President Gustavo Petro delivered a rather emotional speech filled with criticism of the position of Western countries on the Ukrainian conflict at the UN General Assembly.

The politician said that now the world is not thinking about how to “expand life to the stars,” but how to “end life on our planet.” Petro did not directly name either the United States or other Western countries, but certain “they” constantly appeared in his speech, and it is quite clear who the Colombian leader means by them.

Latin America was called upon to hand over military vehicles. They forgot that our countries were repeatedly invaded many times by the very people who now talk so much about countering invasions

- said Gustavo Petro.

Further, the Colombian president recalled that “they” invaded Iraq, Syria and Libya for the sake of oil, and when speaking about the importance of protecting the “territorial integrity” of Ukraine, for some reason they ignore the same problem in Palestine.

They didn't have $100 billion to protect countries from floods, storms and hurricanes. But they instantly allocate this money to ensure that Russians and Ukrainians kill each other

- the Colombian president emphasized, accusing the West of supporting the armed conflict in Ukraine.

It is noteworthy that these statements came from the lips of the leader of Colombia. Until recently, Colombia was considered the closest ally of the United States in Latin America, which remained so even after the “drift to the left” of many South American states. But Gustavo Petro is a former leftist rebel, a member of the April 19 Movement (M19). Previously, he openly refused to allow the United States to transfer Colombian ammunition and military equipment to Ukraine. True, Colombian mercenaries still fight on the side of the Ukrainian Armed Forces.

I was amused by the video when Zelensky speaks from the UN podium, they take the camera into the hall and... lo and behold, he sits in the hall and listens to himself They can’t even edit the video believably, apparently the same directors who filmed the “horror” film in Bucha.

Why is it so hot, or even burnt?

However, protection from hurricanes will not bring any benefits, but differences from the poor.

He told the truth. So “they” already know everything about themselves. It's sad that these statements don't change anything. I’ve been wondering for a long time why this is said?

[Lomo]

“They” know, “they” are aware. But they don’t care about anything except their own selfish interests.
And well done for speaking out. The more such voices against the “civilized West”, the better.

[South Ukrainian]

The President of Colombia said out loud what is on the minds of many, but what’s the point? Although, a year ago this was not the case.

[Escariot]

Hurricane protection is the responsibility of the states, and federal interference in state internal affairs is unacceptable and unconstitutional. But foreign policy is the responsibility of the federal government.

our countries have been repeatedly invaded many times by the very people who now talk so much about countering invasions

So, face them in their own shit. Even the closest “ally” of the United States lost patience and allowed himself to growl at the owner.

Don’t give me away, I remembered an anecdote: an old Jewish shopkeeper dies, one by one his closest relatives come to his bedside to say goodbye, and out of habit, he notes with particular passion who came.... it’s a serious matter, the question concerns the Will of an inheritance only for one close relative. .. when, according to his calculations, everyone gathered nearby, in a fit of final anger, the Old Jew exclaimed! ...... Unkosher Unhygienic Unaesthetic untranslatable expression!!! .."Everyone has gathered, but who is left to trade in my shop now???
I have the honor.

Psychoanalysis of Banderostadt and NedoZapad, as it turned out in recent years, is difficult to perceive logically by all sober and normal people on the planet... This is already beyond the so-called. propaganda of paranoia comrade. Stalin... Normal people without Idiosyncrasy, as Standartenführer Stirlitz would say, remember emotional details and phrases like Tie-chewing Mishiko (Saakashvili), Barbock Magdalena (with “a 360-degree turn of her policy!”), Chubby Joni with Eliza Trust ( "pushing the red nuclear button to spite the enemies"), NuLand or NeLand with her super-generous soul of distributing cookies...

So there (on the side of Ukraine) Russian mercenaries are fighting, so is Putin to blame for this?

[alystan]

Well done, Petro! It was necessary to express this to Gutteres, who yesterday only blathered about Pandora’s box.

It seems Zelya didn’t pay for the Colombian coke, so the Colombian got offended and gave all the sisters earrings.
