I’m gunna be honest: I don’t really give a fuck if it was legal or not; it was wrong. It’s wrong to mutate the histories, identities, and fates of other nations and it always opens a portal to new monsters. Venezuala’s problems are Venezuala’s to solve and grow and learn from. If Canada sent JTF-2 to kidnap Trump and his inner inner circle while they’re visiting Africa or some shit, pretty sure every fucking American would be upset about that, and most Canadians, though momentarily relieved, would fear the reckoning. The US’s leadership is foolish to not fear the reckoning because they think they’re untouchable. Foolish. At this point it would be a “who shot Mr Burns” situation.
Venezuela’s problems aren’t even Venezuela’s to solvd, their problem is an economic embargo by the USA, how are they supposed to solve that?
Yes, and that’s called being powerful enough to decide legality
It’s almost like we live in a country that’s spent a century positioning itself to do this whenever it wants. “How could this happen???”
I don’t live in that country and that’s very concerning for me.
My bad. Want to trade?
Whats in for you?
I’d rather he’d do it to Russia. I think both Trump and Maduro are despicable evil people, but if we’re seeing deterioration of international laws already, I’d rather watch Putin being arrested and Russia to be put under western control. But of course, Trump won’t bite the hand that allegedly feeds him.
Edit:typo
Maduro is not a despicable person. Maduro is not an illegitimate leader. The Bolivarian revolution was widely supported among the people of Venezuela and freed millions from poverty, until USA sanctions demolished their economy. The express purpose of USA sanctioning, according to the US government is to, and I quote, “bring about hunger, desperation and overthrow of government”. USA+EU sanctions additionally murder half a million innocents per year according to recent serious sociologic and medical studies.
By defending regime change under extreme economic sanctioning, you’re approving the murders of 38 million people over the past 50 years of economic sanctions, and directly supporting the CIA strategy of “impoverish them until they change their minds”.
I disagree about Maduro, but I never supported US kidnapping him. I’d only approve of such intervention to Russia, which has completely different circumstances.
What part about what I said regarding Maduro, sanctions and elections are you disagreeing with?
