This is insane. Labour is now saying Russia invading the sovereign country of Ukraine bad but they see Trump invading Venezuela as a-ok.
Interestingly Labour evades requests to release the legal advice they’ve received regarding whether Trump’s actions violate intl law
#Venezuela watching UK Commons debate US action and Starmer’s stance is rightly getting pilloried here.

Seized. I mean, it makes sense. The US has been spending so much time dehumanizing Venezuelans that using an object based word for what happened with Maduro almost makes sense.

JFC what is wrong with humanity.
The pedantic retired journalist in me says, “Well, you wouldn’t use ‘kidnapped’. He’s not a kid. He’s been abducted.”

But also— fuck the BBC. He was abducted by a foreign power. Seized is for items and possessions, not human beings.

You are all learning some harsh lessons this year. The next lesson may come when Trump invades Greenland. Because I'm pretty sure no one remaining in NATO will call for Article 5 against the United States.

They'll let him take Greenland, Canada, and Mexico, then hope it's enough to appease Musk.

So we now appear to be up to at least 80 Venezuelans killed.

For an operation that anonymous admin officials said yesterday was"virtually flawless."

One of the people the USA killed in Venezuela was Rosa Gonzalez, 80 who they blew up in her apartment.

Will you hear this on the European News?

I doubt it.

I am so disgusted by the media. Trump told us what this was about straight out. Why push this legal fiction?

Want to see what MAGA is thinking right now?

Oh. I saw one of these and thought, why are Venezuelans holding an American flag? That seems a weird reaction to have immediately after an attack, even if you're happy that the guy is gone.

Of course it's just more disinformation.
He's at it again!

Nick Shirley is a 23-year-old self-described "independent YouTube journalist" who made prank videos in high school before pivoting to making misleading political videos.

In this video he incorrectly identifies a crowd in Miami as people cheering at the Maduro overthrow.

So, has anyone heard in actual English media about the forty deaths from the Venezuela operation?

Like, these fuckers hit a three story apartment building in the middle of the night.

Careful about the internet right now. They've started putting out images of how they're treating their new war prisoner.

I don't think a build up of military on our southern border will work, hence the mealy mouthed "we want rules based order but we're afraid to call out the US so we'll mention that Maduro wasn't really recognized" response from the Liberals today.

Our strategy will have to be guerrilla.
Honestly, if I were a Canadian lawmaker, I'd be demanding a huge military build up on the southern border. If Trump can snatch Maduro, then say the US is gonna "run" his country, he can do that for any leader of any country. He's ALREADY making the same noise about Mexico. Why not Canada, too?

Maduro was a brutal ruler, it’s true. So is Putin—who Trump supports. So was Bolsonaro, who Trump supports. So was the drug-trafficking former head of Honduras, who Trump just pardoned. So is Nayib Bukele in El Salvador. MBS. Bibi.

Stop pretending Trump cares about illegitimacy or brutality.

MAGAstan calls us a socialist country. Pierre Poilievre is calling for the fall of Canada.
Right on cue Poilievre sucks up to his big daddy Trump praising him for the lawless invasion of another country in our hemisphere. Sure Maduro is a bad man but what’s to stop Poilievre and MAGA from claiming Carney is a dictator running a socialist regime? They lie for power. 🇨🇦 #CanadaSky #Cndpoli

The response to "someone is avoiding our laws" is "extradition" not "rendition."
Vance pushes back and says this was not illegal, arguing "Maduro has multiple indictments in the United States for narcoterrorism. You don't get to avoid justice for drug trafficking in the United States because you live in a palace in Caracas."

Of course the worst voices sing in unity that war is peace.

Whoever is put it in power now will be an American plant, not a Venezuelan, regardless of paperwork. I hope the Venezuelan people understand that.

It’s not about drugs. If it was, Trump wouldn’t have pardoned one of the largest narco traffickers in the world last month.

It’s about oil and regime change.

And they need a trial now to pretend that it isn’t. Especially to distract from his sinking under Epstein and skyrocketing healthcare costs.

Next stop on the War Tour:

Trump to Fox: “Claudia Sheinbaum is a good woman, but the cartels are running Mexico.

“She’s not running Mexico — the cartels are running Mexico.

“Something’s going to have to be done with Mexico.”
