Gustavo Petro Reacts As US Revokes Visa For Asking Army To Disobey Trump by fergie001(op): 9:20pm On Sep 27, 2025
Colombia's first leftist President, Gustavo Petro has been a strong voice against Israel, calling the Gaza war 'a genocide' and accusing Trump of complicity. At the UNGA, he said Diplomacy and words isn't working on the Gaza situation and proposed the UN to vote for a very powerful army with guns and weapons, drawn from countries that do not support the genocide to defend Palestine.

After his speech at the UNGA, he joined a 'Free Palestine' rally on the streets of New York, urging the US Army to disobey the orders of President Donald Trump.


Earlier today, Colombian president @petrogustavo stood on a NYC street and urged U.S. soldiers to disobey orders and incite violence.

We will revoke Petro’s visa due to his reckless and incendiary actions.
US Department of State

Petro reacts to his visa revocation via facebook:

I arrived in Bogota (Colombia's capital) to find out I no longer have a US visa. To attend the United Nations General Assembly, I don't need a visa.

Separating the US from Colombia is what the mafias need.

There is total immunity for presidents attending the Assembly, and the U.S. Government cannot condition the opinion of the U.S.

The fact that the Palestinian Authority was not allowed entry and that my visa was revoked for asking the U.S. and Israeli armies not to support a genocide, which is a crime against all of humanity, demonstrates that the U.S. government no longer complies with international law.

The United Nations headquarters cannot continue to be in New York.

I have said it and will continue to say it.
The United Nations headquarters should be relocated to a neutral country.
It has lost its relevance being in America.
America does not respect the rule of international laws.
It supports genocide.
It supports terrorism.
It supports warmongering.
The world should not fold its arms and watch United Nations fall to ruin, because it can no longer meet its obligations to member nations.
Especially now that we have an awkward bull in the White House.

It is time for Israel to end the war genocide in gaza.

Fighting terrorism is never easy, fighting a faceless and hidden enemy can be very tiring and difficult but the rate innocent children are being killed is a cause for concern.

Plus Israel doesn’t seem to understand they are in fact raising a new generation of terrorists that would afflict them, these Palestine children might not fully understand what is going on but they can see; when they grow up i can’t imagine what would be on their agenda for Israel. It is a lose-lose situation.

First ask Hamas to immediately release the hostages.
Those presidents on the side of Hamas do not understand what Israel is fighting for. Released hostages confirmed that many hostages in Gaza are being fed with faeces and some asked to dig their own grave. Terrorists are truly dangerous.
ISRAELI PM NETANYAHU MADE IT CLEAR AT THE UNGA THAT IF THE REMAINING 48 HOSTAGES ARE FREED TODAY, THEN THE WAR ENDS TODAY, PERIOD.

This is good news and good for democracy.

I told someone if you think Israel was not aware of October 7 attack, you are joking. Israel is very much aware of the attack before it's happened. Israel needed a platform to carry out their agenda on Palestine and Gaza. Though Iran nuclear weapons is their target too.

Nothing takes Isreal by surprise. October 7 attack was a bet.

The US should not be challenged but instead be allowed to act like a bloodthirsty bully for the past 80 years.

How much damage and crimes to humanity is the US guilty of?

-Dropped 2 nukes on civilians, only case of using nukes on humanity

-Instigated the Korean War

-Instigated the Vietnam War

-Caused the Cuban Missile Crisis that almost led to nuclear Armageddon

-Armed Mujahideen against the USSR, a precursor to Al Qaeda

-Bay of Pigs invasion, and arming the rebels

-Armed Saddam Hussain against Iran

-Gulf War 1

-Somalia "Day of the Rangers" debacle

-Invaded Afghanistan

-Invaded Iraq

-Armed ISIS against the Syrian government

-Armed Israel and provided cover for the Zionist colonial and apartheid government against the Palestinians

-Supports Israeli genocide in Gaza and the West Bank

The US is the greatest threat to mankind, not the few radical islamist terrorists (most of whom are propped up by Israel and Qatar, both allies of the US).

This is total rubbish, you went to another country as a president and you were publicly saying the military of that country should disobey that country's president? Can you try that in countries like common Burkina Faso and be alive to tell the story?

Aswear, the whole thing is annoying. Can someone visit China for an international summit like the UNGA and tell the Chinese military officers to disobey Xi's orders? Can anyone try that with Putin in Russia?

What the Colombian President did was wrong. You made your point during the summit, fine. Go straight to your country. What he did was an attempt to cause a mutiny within the armed forces of another country, not even himself would take such a thing...

That is the leftists for you. Extremely brainless humans, always acting before thinking.

Meanwhile, the Colombia is a country riddled with numerous problems, this liberal president left his own country's problems to carry a Middle East issue on his head.

Honestly, I hate liberals with everything in me...

You don't know what you are saying... without the US,the world you still be under Hitler's dictatorship and you perhaps would have been used for some testing experiments or something by the nazis.

The world should be ever grateful to the USA

I blame Trump for letting him go for free. He should have been arrested and detained for a couple of days. I can't imagine Ghanian president coming to Nigeria to say such about Tinubu. I might not like his style of governance, but I will support Tinubu to arrest and teach him a lesson. See mind o! angry
