    I mean Trump is an illegitimate president, also a convicted felon with countless bankruptcies, child sex trafficking,attempted destruction of evidence, impending due justice, election tampering, too much more to list.

        Countries and organizations are not monoliths. Even in the US, the last polls showed that 70% of the people did not want a war with Venezuela.

        I’d bet the number of EU citizens that oppose their neoliberal leaders support for the US empire and its wars is even higher.

    It’s amazing how Trump can just rip the mask off and scream “we’re gonna steal their oil!” and pigshit fucking liberals will hem and haw about Maduro’s legitimacy.

      Not a fan of maduro, really really not a fan of this. If killing incompetent or illegitimate leaders is okay, he’s nowhere near the top of the list.

    Viva Maduro. The US Empire is kidnapping a democratically elected president and his family in order to gain ownership of Venezuelan oil fields. The vassals in Europe only care that their master needs consent manufacturing, but the good working people around the world can see right through this naked terrorism and those that support it.

    May the empire and its vassals fall.

      So Russia, Venezuela’s ally, will surely help him, right? Right?!

      WRONG. Russia is more full of bullshit than the USA or the EU. They’ll just issue some “harsh words” for this, “condemn” the attack and that will be the end of it.

        Russia’s capacity to help is very limited, unlike the US Empire they don’t have hundreds of overseas millitary bases. The Monroe Doctrine means that unless Russia wanted to give Venezuela nukes, like they did for Cuba back when Russia was socialist, Latin Americans are mostly relying on their own power.

        Not sure why you’re bringing up Russia, though, I never expected they would help and didn’t mention them because of that. Maybe some arms shipments, but that’s about it.

    It is shameful how our politicians provide cover for these monsters. It is an absolute disgrace and an expression of how cowardly and weak our governments are.

    We urgently need to break away from this mafia state, but our so-called representatives bow down to the orange child molester and his god-damned Nazi crew. Disgusting!

    What legitimacy has the Saud family? Or any of the other dictatorships the EU and the US gives support?

      I’m not crazy about EU and there are certainly parts of it that are dodgy, but we do actually vote our EU representatives, the fact that you personally didn’t doesn’t mean it’s illegitimate.

      Does that mean Britain was right to vote for Brexit? I thought that was universally seen as a dumb move on par with voting for Trump.

          This, if the eu member states were advocating for the global well being of all peoples it would be pretty smart to all vote leave at the expense of their own material conditions. This would allow the peoples of the member states to actually vote for anti-imperialist policies (they probably wouldnt, but assuming we were actually collectively advocating for global well being) and to see that the capitalist class wouldnt enact such policies without a struggle.

    EU has always supported invasion of the Americas, this is no different day.

    Colonialism, in the end, stems from Europe and the root of evil must be killed there.
