The US sends massive amounts of aid to columbia, both cash and military support. That is premised on the drug war.
It’s premised on not going full Communist. Everything else is just window dressing and everyone knows it.
Flip it around, imagine Columbia was Communist and drug-funded guerrillas were fighting the government. Who would the US be backing? Clue: the US happily backed a bunch of poppy farmers against the Soviets...
