The lack of a clear legal justification and the precedent set by the operation have left others wondering how vulnerable they might be to U.S. intervention.
Russia and China swiftly condemned the strikes and called for the release of Maduro, who has been brought to the U.S. to face criminal charges. Iran and Cuba denounced what they called a violation of international law, their objections carrying an edge of unease that they, too, could find themselves in Washington’s sights.
Even major European allies, more cautious and measured in tone, carefully signaled concern about the operation’s legality while largely aligning with the U.S. on policy.
Taken together, these responses suggest the revival of old fears of American interventionism, prompting allies and adversaries alike to ponder where Washington might act next.
I said this when Trump first started and all the Europeans and Canadians were leaning into local nationalism and their neoliberal leaders doing the same. But I’ll say it again.
Capitalist Interest of the west are aligned. The fate of the working class of Europe will be the same fate as those in America. You are not somehow separated from the results of Imperialism that you have enjoyed. And you will not be able to avoid the decline of its benefits as the ruling class tightens it’s grip. Your leaders can “condemn” the legality. It’s even less effective than our supposed leftist politicians in America doing the same. Your leaders words are as useless as the words of Bernie Sanders.
Fascism is everywhere now, there is no escape anymore. Every country has already been bought. The wealthy won and people still worship money because they don’t know better. There is exactly zero awareness to this fact of life.
As long as wealth gaps and classism exists we are going to be stuck here.
