He/him. UK. I post trite opinions on global events. Big fan of freedom.
They’ve got Twitter up on the big screens in Trump’s Mar-a-Lago makeshift “situation room.”

Agree. But also imho UK gov has been too weak:

🇬🇧 Cooper: "As the Prime Minister has made clear, we support international law"

🇫🇷 Barrot (translated): "The military operation that led to the capture of Nicolás Maduro violates the principle of non-use of force which underpins international law."

So seeing as US war against Venezuela seems fairly imminent, I hope the UK and other allies are getting their positions figured out in advance. It will be an illegal war of aggression.
🚨 Are the alarm bells ringing in the US yet? 🚨

And rest of world, we don't get to ignore this, a fascist USA isn't ignorable.

I suspect I'm gonna be reposting this fairly often.

US regime change in Venezuela has

Something that surprises me though - why did Foreign Office and Starmer not have statements ready to go? This has been obvious for many months

France said both that they don't like Maduro and also that "the military operation that led to the capture of Nicolás Maduro contravenes the principle of non-use of force, which underpins international law..."

Starmer probably can't say that but Cooper should, it's not acceptable US conduct

Starmer needs to decide if we have ambitions above Airstrip One or not

No he's 12!

Trump and the oil lobbyists seem awfully confident in the security of said oil infrastructure. But then I suppose they also don't particular care if Venezuelans and US taxpayers lose out in this gambit
