      Where I am (Europe), I haven’t seen a single article calling this what it clearly is. Maduro is just a captive in every article, never a hostage. But they have no issue calling an Israeli pow a hostage despite him being taken from his damn tank in occupied territory. The west has become a total and very visible clown show, and I don’t think changing Trump to the next Obama can do a lot to change that perception internationally. Specially Europe has shown itself to be a particularly pathetic entity with very little independence from ‘daddy’ Trump.

        Absolutely correct. Also claiming that as long as international law and UN charter are observed, everything is fine is disgusting beyond words. The world is facing an era of territory wars once more. Peak irony is Ukraine supporting illegal wars.
