He is insane. And this is an open declaration of intended genocide. If any other world leader said this, there would be sanctions and an arrest warrant, not just for him, but for his whole regime.

Last Sunday, Puerto Rican artist Benito Antonio Martinez Ocasio AKA Bad Bunny put his motherland Puerto Rico center stage during his Super Bowl halftime show – highlighting the island’s historic struggles with power blackouts and colonization, both old and new.
Background photo of a Puerto Rican flag proudly displayed above a colorful street in Puerto Rico. “Puerto Rican artist Benito Antonio Martínez Ocasio (AKA Bad Bunny) brought his motherland with him into center stage during Sunday's performance in the Super Bowl halftime show - highlighting the island's struggles with power blackouts and colonization.” Arrow icon in bottom right corner. Black background. “Bad Bunny is no stranger to getting political. In 2022, Bad Bunny dropped his song "El Apagón" ("The Blackout"), referencing the blackout caused by Hurricane Maria, which hit the island in 2017. In the song, he reminisces about why he loves his home while calling out the island's political leaders and mainland gentrifiers. He called out the island's governor at the time, Pedro Pierluisi - a former coal lobbyist. While Pierluisi was in power, a fire broke out at the Costa Sur power plant, causing millions to lose power, including the intensive care center of a medical center in Mayagüez.” Arrow icon in bottom right corner. 
Black background. “The song also called out the growing wave of new island residents who are gentrifying the island and making native Puerto Ricans feel unwelcome in their own homes, including mainland Americans, social media influencers, and even "crypto colonizers". Screenshot of Washington Post article titled “‘Crypto colonizers’ in Puerto Rico try to sell locals on the dream’ with the subhead ‘A new wave of wealthy investors is moving to the island. Locals are greeting them with excitement — and suspicion.” Article was updated on January 13, 2022. Arrow icon in bottom right corner. 
Cream-colored background. “On Sunday night, as more than 100 million viewers watched, Bad Bunny delivered a strong message on energy justice, performing "El Apagón" amid visual symbols including power poles.” Photo of a power pole downed during Hurricane Maria. “As legendary Puerto Rican artist
Ricky Martin performed Bad Bunny's "Lo Que Le Pasó a Hawaii" ("What Happened to Hawaii"), the power poles exploded - signifying the island's frequent power outages and failing grid.” Arrow icon in bottom right corner.
