Colombian President Gustavo Petro posted on X during the 59-minute reporting window from 1:16:06 AM to 2:15:40 AM UTC on December 15, 2025, warning of 'winds of death' from the south and north, urging 'Grancolombianos' to resist with 'the sword of BolÃvar held high and the step of victors,' according to his post at https://x.com/petrogustavo/status/2000367833965109563. Petro stated, 'They have blocked my tweet about the progressive defeat in Chile, I hope it recovers. Quote: THE LEFT RETREATS FREEDOM ADVANCES VLLC!' The post, translated from Spanish, also calls for attention amid perceived threats. This message follows Venezuelan President Nicolás Maduro's December 15 claim of perfecting national defenses against U.S. threats, as reported in the prior period ending at 1:16 AM UTC. The warning comes amid U.S. military aircraft movements toward the Caribbean, including a JetBlue flight from Curaçao halting ascent on December 15 to avoid a U.S. Air Force tanker, per a Stars and Stripes article shared earlier. Pete Hegseth affirmed U.S. action against terrorists in an X post before 1:16 AM UTC, quoting a call directed at the Secretary of War. Reports of kidnappings in Caracas on December 14, including political scientist Nicmer Evans seized by SEBIN agents, were shared by activist @TAMARA_SUJU during the previous window, highlighting Venezuelan repression.
