Waarom spreekt geen enkel lid van het kabinet zich uit over het feit dat de VS internationaal oorlogsrecht aan het schenden is? Wat hebben we aan die wetten en afspraken als sommige landen zich er niet aan houden en niemand zich erover uitspreekt?
I teach the Venezuela case study, and there’s one thing people conveniently forget, so let me spell it out.
Sovereignty is not optional. It is the highest priority of any country whether it’s run by geniuses, clowns, or failed leaders.
If a country’s leadership is bad, that is for its people to change. History is very clear on this! When people unite, regimes fall. Unity, not foreign missiles, is the most powerful force a society has.
But here’s the part the “liberators” never tell you! When foreign forces parachute in claiming they’re here to “save” you, what follows is not freedom. It’s chaos, extraction, and decades of abusing resources.
Kidnapping presidents doesn’t create democracy!
Bombs don’t build institutions!
And sovereignty doesn’t survive “humanitarian invasions”!
Expect your resources quietly changing hands.
Open your fucking eyes.
The most important thing to remember about Venezuela is that Donald Trump is a pedophile who is desperate for us to talk about anything other than his best friend Jeffrey Epstein
Trump campaigned on an “America First” platform. Now he wants to "run" Venezuela?
60% of Americans live paycheck to paycheck. Health care is collapsing. Housing is unaffordable.
Trump should address these major crises at home and end his illegal military adventurism abroad.
Nicolás Maduro was not a good guy. His brand of socialism and authoritarian rule devastated Venezuela and crushed democratic institutions. There’s no serious argument that the country is better off under his leadership.
Venezuela deserves democracy.
But believing that does not mean the US gets to break international law, ignore Congress, and unilaterally overthrow the government of a sovereign nation to “police the world.”
So a simple question for MAGA:
Are you still against regime change and endless U.S. intervention abroad, or was that principle only convenient before Trump did it?
You don’t get to oppose imperial overreach in theory and cheer it in practice when your guy is the one pulling the trigger.
.@antonioguterres deeply alarmed by escalation in Venezuela, culminating with US military action today.
He’s concerned that international law hasn't been respected.
He calls on all actors in Venezuela to engage in inclusive dialogue, in respect of human rights & rule of law.
Maduro was een wrede dictator. Hij stortte zijn land in de afgrond, verloor de verkiezingen en bleef onrechtmatig aan de macht. Veel Venezolanen zullen opgelucht zijn dat hij weg is.
Tegelijkertijd geldt: dit is niet de manier. De bombardementen op Caracas, het gevangennemen van Maduro en zijn vrouw en het overnemen van een landsbestuur staan haaks op het internationaal recht. Een precedent met grote risico’s voor de rest van de wereld.
De-escalatie en gericht werken aan vreedzame oplossingen is nu cruciaal. Nederland en de EU moeten daarbij hun rol pakken. Lees mijn volledige verklaring:
I was briefed this morning on the U.S. military capture of Venezuelan President Nicolás Maduro and his wife, as well as their planned imprisonment in federal custody here in New York City.
Unilaterally attacking a sovereign nation is an act of war and a violation of federal and international law.
This blatant pursuit of regime change doesn’t just affect those abroad, it directly impacts New Yorkers, including tens of thousands of Venezuelans who call this city home. My focus is their safety and the safety of every New Yorker, and my administration will continue to monitor the situation and issue relevant guidance.
Onaanvaardbaar om hulporganisaties vanaf morgen te weren uit Gaza en de Westbank, terwijl zoveel mensen afhankelijk zijn van levensreddende hulp.
De internationale gemeenschap moet nu maximale druk uitoefenen en aandringen op onmiddellijke terugdraaiing. Deze hulp moet doorgaan.

"The Romans occupied England in the 5th century, so anyone of Roman descent has a historical claim to the land."
It's one of the best sketches I've ever seen, it is so accurate and highlights the situation in Palestine.

The Epstein files on the DOJ website allow you to highlight the redacted text, copy it, and paste it into another document, which reveals what was hidden. You can also press Ctrl+F and search for “Trump ” (with a space) to see his name appear more than 600 times. #OpDeathEaters
