Conflicting and understandable feelings.
The United States has carried out an act of international imperialism in Venezuela.
They did so against a gang of narco-criminals who had tyrannized the population for years, to the point of forcing a third of it to emigrate: worse than East Germany!
The only fitting precedent is that of Panama in 1989, with the capture of Noriega and his forced extradition to the United States—exactly as has happened today with Maduro.
How can one not condemn the imperialist act, and how can one not condemn Maduro? The man who had erased every form of freedom in Venezuela and managed to impoverish a people living atop oil deposits.
What matters most is that the remaining masks are falling
“International law”? The one Russia invokes after invading Ukraine, having even committed by treaty to defend its territorial integrity?
Please, let’s not be ridiculous!
The difference between Moscow and Washington is that American special operations are blitzes, while Russian ones turn into blood-soaked, inextricable quagmires.
International law exists only in a manner of speaking—and it always has. And it is good that this is being acknowledged today.
It is not so much international law as the justness of causes by which peoples must be defended.
And first and foremost, brother peoples—that is, European ones.
And above all, one thing must be understood once and for all: “there are no gods who take up arms in place of those who pray instead of fighting.”
Rearm, rearm, rearm!
This is the only moral lesson that is legitimate and honest to draw from the settling of scores among power mafias, all of which are founded, among other things, on drug trafficking.
Everything else is hypocrisy, impotence, and hallucination.
