Wow! Is Colombia ready for to be added to the list of countries with a forced regime change by Amerikkka?

Seriously though, I hope the US stays the fuck out of Colombia and let's them be autonomous. That country is large, with a lot of sun and a long coast line. Wouldn't surprise me if they could generate the majority of the energy from wind, solar, and possibly wave energy.
