Or - as has been repeatedly pointed out - the U.S. decided unilaterally to change from civilian to military aircraft, and Colombia expressed a perfectly normal and understandable reluctance to have U.S. military aircraft penetrating their airspace instead of civilian aircraft.

Uh, huh.
You ought to know that C-17 flights are a regular occurrence around the globe between the US and allies.

Plus, as has been pointed out - we weren't sending people down there on Delta One before.

Nah. I think the explanation of "Let's push Trump to see if he's serious" makes the most sense. Some of you ought to study The Strong Horse Theory a little more as well.
