There's a huge gulf between diplomacy and subservience, the latter is complicity. There only degrees of complicity here.

Independent republic or subservient State? bsky.app/profile/joen...

There are two reasons why the European Union cares deeply about Ukraine but doesn't care about about DR Congo, Lebanon, Palestine, Sudan, Syria, Venezuela, Western Sahara and West Papua: Racism is one reason that includes all the countries. Zionism is a second reason that includes most of them.

France at the UN Security Council: "The military operation which led to the capture of Nicolas Maduro runs counter to the principle of peaceful dispute resolution and the principle of non use of force. Violations of the UN Charter... chips away at the very foundation of the international order."

The Truth about Venezuela.

Starmer once again says there will be no return to free movement of people Please repost if you demand the restoration of the Freedom of Movement that was robbed from us by foreign interference and the worst abuses of democracy in modern British history.

Join me and @markabowles.bsky.social for this? Rage! Trauma! Madness! Silence!

Will @kajakallas.bsky.social stand up...

It should be condemned by everyone

80 people murdered by the USA in Venezuela and the western media and politicians refuse to even say a single bad word about the USA's illegal unprovoked invasion kidnap and murder. It is truly unforgivable.

Given we're all talking about Venezuela I thought it'd help to know how big it really is

Bill Clinton bombed Iraq in 1998 with the justification of WMDs

What intelligence did Powell rely on when he goes to the UN though? A lot of the same bullshit that Clinton was pushing then.

UK and EU politicos are such unbelievable toadies that they're being outflanked by the New York Times

What the absolute fuck is this?!?! Canada was better off not releasing a statement than this asinine bullshit. (With alt text.)

This is immoral.

Mexico and Brazil are among the states condemning the United States’ blatant violation of Venezuelan sovereignty.

A man with no humanity. May he and his children suffer.

Now Trump says "we" need Greenland. Well done weak European leaders who tepidly criticized/welcomed Trump’s invasion of Venezuela yesterday. You're next.

My god, Canada has managed to provide a more pathetic statement than I could possibly have imagined.

Iran was a secular democracy, one of the oldest sovereign governments in the entire world, until we nationalized our oil, which was mostly controlled by the British. The US overthrew our democratically elected leader and replaced him with the Shah, who tortured and murdered thousands.

With this regime anything is possible…

"international law must be followed" is european for "thoughts and prayers"

Remember the " German carmakers will defend the UK" argument? Didn't work then, won't now.

“In Trump’s rambling, even by his standards, either Trump or members of his national security team mentioned the word oil 27 times. So, if you do the match, oil was mentioned on an average of every two and a half minutes.” #Venezuela

The Starmer apologist responses are predictable " Starmer's duty is to work out how high and which way Trump would appreciate him jumping." Thought he was the PM of the UK, not Trump's Representative in the UK.

European traditional values.

My latest with @ichotiner.bsky.social.

Then in 1982, the UK also realised you could capitalise on this 'South American War' thing, to give the Media something else to report on.

Soon: "I have spoken with Secretary of State Marco Rubio and our Ambassador in Washington. The EU is closely monitoring the situation in Greenland. The EU has repeatedly stated that Denmark's occupation of Greenland lacks legitimacy and has defended a peaceful transition. "

Civilians.

In 1887, British forces kidnapped & exiled the King of Opobo in today’s Nigeria. British Palm oil traders had persuaded the government that the tariffs he imposed restricted their profits. It was a milestone in the Scramble for Africa and indirect rule by Britain. alanlester.co.uk/blog/antisla...

“The United Kingdom is a resolute supporter of international law” said Lord Hermer, Britain’s top legal officer in a speech last month. Should he resign? www.gov.uk/government/s...
