Seven dogs stolen from their owners have gone viral after escaping their captors and making their way home
The group is believed to have travelled around 17 km together led by a corgi across highways and fields
So @PM_Kamla still claiming the narco trafficking bs, or going to finally admit you just want T&T to support barbaric American imperialism?
Trinidad and Tobago is potentially in the cross hairs now. Thanks Kamla
🚨#BREAKING: Reuters reports that U.S. ground forces and United States Air Force assets are currently on the ground and active in and around Caracas, Venezuela. Multiple explosions have been reported and observed across the capital as operations continue.
The Prime Minister of Trinidad & Tobago is under the illusion that if the U.S. invades Venezuela and there’s all-out war in the Caribbean, that they will be protected by the U.S. military.
When has the U.S. ever protected their allies? Ask the Cuban exiles abandoned at the Bay of Pigs. Ask the people left behind on Saigon rooftops. Ask the interpreters left in Kabul. Ask the Qataris killed by Israeli airstrikes.
Your visas and trade stats are not a security guarantee. In an all-out war in the Caribbean, you are a staging ground, not a protected partner. The U.S. only protects U.S. interests.
What pisses me off more than ANYTHING is the gaslighting. WE KNOW you’ve already sold us and there is nothing we can do to change course. AT LEAST TELL US WHAT WE STAND TO GAIN OH FRIGG!! You expect us to believe the US’ highest ranking military officer was in town for tea?! FOH
this tactic to silence people’s criticism of the government is insane
and we should never stop the criticism!
Freedom of speech is a fundamental principle in a democracy and needs to be protected!
very concerning development here
Lightly addressing these concerns now doesn't take away from the fact that collaborating with the US can still be seen as an act of aggression by Venezuela.
Why on earth would they trust the word of a drunken US puppet who said "kill them all violently" ?
Today's presser by Rowley was nothing to be concerned about. As a citizen he has a democratic right to express his opinions.
However the facts remain:
1. Rowley, while entranced with former ambassador Bond, signed an updated SOFA last year which requires T&T to cooperate with the US military in their training exercises in the region.
2. The US has NEVER requested use of our territory to launch any attacks against the people of Venezuela.
3. Trinidad and Tobago territory will NOT be used to launch any attacks against the people of Venezuela.
4. Trinidad and Tobago is a sovereign state and does not blindly follow the US or any bloc such as CARICOM.
5. Our foreign policy is Trinidad and Tobago first. As Lord Palmerston said, “We have no eternal allies, and we have no perpetual enemies. Our interests are eternal and perpetual, and those interests it is our duty to follow.”
6. Trinidad and Tobago has suffered tremendously under the weight of drug and gun trafficking. My Government will not shy away from supporting international partners who are committed to confronting this plague head-on.
7. Trinidad and Tobago will NOT participate in any act that will bring harm to the Venezuelan people. 8. We continue to have peaceful relations with the people of Venezuela.
9. The Trinidad and Tobago Government supports the selection of leaders through free and fair democratic elections.
10. Trinidad and Tobago citizens and infrastructure are NOT at risk as we are NOT participants in any aggression against the people of Venezuela.
