UK waiting to determine if US breached international law by capturing Nicolás Maduro, PM’s chief secretary says
They bragged about breaching international law. Take the photo of Nicolás Maduro hancuffed Trump personally posted on social media. That’s against Geneva Convention, article 13. Cuck Starmer is such an embarrassment.
I think the fact that he was blindfolded is worse than the handcuffs
The UK isn’t going to cross Trump for Maduro, neither will most of Europe.
It’s not for Trump, it’s for a rule based order and international law as opposed to the law of the jungle. Imagine a world where powerful nations bully smaller ones by kidnapping their leaders.
I don’t need to imagine it, it’s here. There are now three spheres of influence Russian, Chinese, and American. Right now Europe has a threat on its eastern border that only Poland has prepared for. The UK, Germany, Italy, and Poland have US troops so those places will be nominally protected everyone else is fair game. It’s in Europe’s best interest to appease Trump until its MIC can replace the US as a protector and they need to do it while supporting Ukraine.
Trump doesn’t have Europe best interest in mind. Europe is a super power and a sphere of influence on their own. Europe don’t need protection especially against Russia who is much weaker in every aspect than Europe. Weak leadership and lack of discipline is what keeps holding Europe back, not the military.
People from around the world have been furious at Americans for electing trump, and for not stopping his demolition derby. The fact that only ~32% of voters chose him, and that the US voting system is corrupted, has been irrelevant, and the millions of Americans who have repeatedly protested means nothing.
Now all nations finally have the perfect opportunity to censure this wannabe emperor, but there is only silence. Maybe a strongly worded letter or a look of disapproval? Anything? But we outnumber the fascists! This must mean every human on earth is complicit.
