That's certainly an "America First" approach - use our massive size to threaten and intimidate rather than work cooperatively with people. But it doesn't seem like an especially smart one, because even though Colombia is smaller than us and doesn't have a lot of immediate options to retaliate, they've still got lots of choices about how to structure their economy and foreign policy that are now going to be made very differently.

Again, if all it takes to throw Colombia into China's camp is one incident, then they were already 99% of the way there.
