If you are a foreign president who commits crimes overseas, America will come get you, arrest you, and lock you up.
But if you are a US president who commits crimes here in the United States, America will give you immunity from prosecution, reelect you, and bribe you with billions of dollars.

Turns out “America first” meant using 🇺🇸 military to take over Venezuela for the oil companies 🤷🏼

Moulton: "When we had briefings on Venezuela, we asked, 'Are you going to invade the country?' We were told no. 'Do you plan to put troops on the ground?' We were told no. 'Do you intend regime change in VZ?' We were told no. So in a sense, we have been briefed, we've just been completely lied to"

Venezuela’s Vice President Delcy Rodríguez declared Nicolás Maduro the country’s only legitimate president and demanded his and his wife’s immediate release, stating, “Venezuela will not be anyone’s colony.” This comes after Trump claimed she told the US she was willing to do “whatever is necessary"

The US is now responsible for the governance of Venezuela. Toppling the regime of a smaller country is always the easy part. The hard part is what comes after. Neo-cons always expect a pro-US nirvana. It rarely works out. But I suppose the oil companies can seize some assets.

Keir Starmer should condemn Trump’s illegal action in Venezuela.
Maduro is a brutal and illegitimate dictator, but unlawful attacks like this make us all less safe.
Trump is giving a green light to the likes of Putin and Xi to attack other countries with impunity.

Spray paint a plane and they'll detain you without trial and call you a terrorist.
Kidnap a foreign head of state - and Keir Starmer will make it clear we've played no part in it but will wait for the scheduled press conference in a few hours before potentially condemning it

And believe me it is exactly the same, next is Poland (Greenland), and then France (Canada).

Maduro has overseen the largest refugee crisis in Latin America, and at one point the second largest in the world.
That still does not allow Trump to launch military attacks against a sovereign nation.
If the benchmark was the leader was an inhumane arse then everyone would be invading America.

Maduro is a brutal and oppressive dictator of Venezuela.
Trump has no legitimate legal basis for military action against Venezuela under United States or international law.
Both of those facts are simultaneously true.
