As I get more information the the worse it seems. Is Trump intentionally hitting China which took most of Venezuela’s oil, and whose economy will be affected if US cuts off supply as the price on the market will rise. Iran is an alternative source which would give Trump scope to hit that country with more airstrikes.
Trump’s claim that Maduro was a drug runner is undermined by the presidential pardon given to former Honduran President who was serving 25 years for drug running. Basically Trump is doing whatever he wants regardless of international law – the United Nations is rendered powerless by the USA’s veto (the other 4 are Russia, China, UK and France). Starmer has not condemned the actions yet. He could be hedging his bets on getting a deal over Ukraine; or just be a sycophant? Time will tell.
At least he came out for Denmark and Trump’s pledge to invade European territory in Greenland. America already has a military base there, so his bullshit about needing it for defence is utter bollocks. ‘It is all about money stupid!’
Making America great again – by using mafia style tactics – may go down well with MAGA knuckle draggers, but not in the rest of the world. Russia, China and a host of other countries have condemned his actions.
When I replace my iPhone do I get a Samsung? Is there an alternative to Amazon, Facebook and the rest?
