Abysmal statement from Canada on the illegal US action in Venezuela.

It doesn’t matter how much you dislike Maduro, that doesn’t justify a violation of international law and the UN Charter. You can’t call on “all parties” to respect international law and not call out US lawlessness.
Please see my statement on the situation in Venezuela:

This year, the Trump administration cut off important medical resources to many countries that needed them, while at the same time funneling billions towards Israel and their genocide. They never had an issue with all “foreign entitlements”, only the ones that primarily aided non-white people.

Errrrrrrr.... could we get some more detail on that?
We know it'll take some time to get things back into order, but we *do* have an elected president, Eduardo González so the sooner he's sworn in, the better.

"this is a distraction from the epstein files"

the US just performed an imperialist coup of another nation and declared itself in charge for its resources

the people of venezuela just became hostages of the US government and are terrified.

it's not a distraction. it's another atrocity.

STOP GENOCIDE
DOGE's savings page fixed old mistakes — and added new ones
An NPR review of new data added to DOGE's "wall of receipts" finds the group quietly changed previous errors, added new ones and still has little verified savings to show for its work.

Maduro was a brutal ruler, it’s true. So is Putin—who Trump supports. So was Bolsonaro, who Trump supports. So was the drug-trafficking former head of Honduras, who Trump just pardoned. So is Nayib Bukele in El Salvador. MBS. Bibi.

Stop pretending Trump cares about illegitimacy or brutality.

Keep coming back to this.

I understand why many world leaders are issuing cautious, measured statements

But evidently, their real reactions were more like “WTF DEAR GOD THIS IS MAD”

I worry measured statements tell populations that the US is behaving normally
It is deeply corrosive to public understanding of the peril we’re in, and to public trust in politicians, for leaders to keep heaping effusive praise on Trump and acting like his behaviour is normal and reasonable

Moulton: "When we had briefings on Venezuela, we asked, 'Are you going to invade the country?' We were told no. 'Do you plan to put troops on the ground?' We were told no. 'Do you intend regime change in VZ?' We were told no. So in a sense, we have been briefed, we've just been completely lied to"

Marco Rubio is reportedly saying Maduro will stand trial in US courts.

Which means it’s now the US administration’s position that US courts can hold foreign presidents, but not the US president, accountable for crimes.
