Subject: Re: Columbians to allow deportation flights
Lets also acknowledge there is value to demonstrating our resolve to countries other than Colombia. We expect an ROI for the USA and one of the ways for your country to show it is eagerly facilitating the return of your citizen to you when they break the law in the USA.

Well, you have to do more than that, apparently. You also have to be willing to allow us to change longstanding approaches and allow U.S. military aircraft to enter your airspace in lieu of civilian aircraft (even though that would be something that we, like many countries, would be loathe to allow).

So we've demonstrated to countries other than Colombia that we're willing to inflict enormous economic harm to them in response to perfectly legitimate concerns over the most minor of matters. We should not be surprised if they learn from that demonstration that cooperating with the United States may be one-sided, tenuous, and subject to enormous risk in the near future. We sure showed them what we think of generally friendly countries! Just wait until we impose massive tariffs on some of our closest allies - the lessons they'll learn from that!
