You've already stated the reason above. Why would the common folk trust the FBI when innocent people are killed as collateral damage. The Sniper killing a mother holding her baby is a mark of shame for the FBI that will never be erased especially considering the fact that particular sniper didn't get punished because of the privilege given to Federal agents

The People of Gran Colombia may begin to develop an Anti-Amerathian attitude especially for the ones who lost their loved ones. Of course, they will also blame President Velasquez for not surrendering early and preventing the massive scale of damage
I think it will only be a temporary occupation, otherwise they will learn the hard way; what a bad idea it is. As for Mexico, I think they only took over the disputed territories between Mexico and Amerathia
Clay turned to General Graves. "Prepare the occupation forces. Gran Colombia is ours now."

I wonder if someone will launch a coup to depose him and then surrender to Amerathia
Still, he refused to surrender.

That is simply his stubborn pride talking. He just doesn't want to lose face by surrendering
Velásquez's jaw tightened. "They already are." He looked around the room. "Do you all believe Amerathia will stop after Panama? Do you think they will stop once they've shattered our economy and burned our cities? No. They will not stop until we are broken beyond repair."

It would be a one-sided slaughter instead of a fight
Velásquez's expression darkened. He refused to accept defeat. His country would not fall without a fight.

Though Future historians both Amerathian and foreign would criticise that the retaliation he ordered was too much
And he was determined to ensure that future, no matter the cost.

If this guy was smart, he wouldn't have let matters escalate to this point. Instead he would have recognised how beneficial the Panama Canal Project would be for his republic
Velásquez's anger simmered, but he nodded slowly. "You're right. We cannot fight this war alone. Ortega, send urgent messages to our ambassadors in Europe. Emphasize the Amerathian aggression and the destruction of our capital. Make them see that this is not just our fight, but a battle against imperialist tyranny."

Perhaps he is talking about how their artillery cannot shoot down the bombers from the air
General Ibarra stepped forward again, his expression grim. "Mr. President, our current military capabilities are no match for those bombers. Our anti-air defenses are outdated, and we lack the resources to develop countermeasures quickly. We must secure support from our allies. Spain, France, even Britain—if we can rally them to our side, we might stand a chance."

In this case, desperation has further enhanced stupidity
Human error. Those two words, when combined together in sequence described something that could even further be simplified by the term stupidity. In this world, as a human, you were forced to interact with other people, whether directly or indirectly.
