You understand that from a country-to-country point of view there's very little distinction between a US Marshall Service's Gulfstream and an Air Force Gulfstream, right? And that both require government clearance from the destination to land?

So it should be relatively easy for you to point to a few examples of when the U.S. has allowed another country's military to just decide - unilaterally - that they were going to enter our airspace with a military aircraft in lieu of a civilian one. Right? To show that the the thing that the Colombians complained about actually happens all the time?

Or maybe it's because Colombia, which accepted 124 deportation flights last year, actually had some genuine objections to the unilateral changes that Trump decided to make? That instead of chartering a flight, which was both standard practice for years and years and cheaper than a military flight, Trump decided to disrupt years and years of unproblematic deportation flights for PR purposes - so that he could look like he was doing something different than Biden had done?
