        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.

    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.

    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.

    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.

            I wouldn’t pick any of these fucks, and all of them just do creep towards fascism at varying speeds when they win. Death to schumer (I’m in America).

            The whole concept of decision making elites, even if elected, is fucked and antidemocratic.

    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.

    The EU’s lacklusture response to the invasion of Vanezuela sets a bad precendent. What’s the EU position going to be when the US invades Canada or Mexico because of “fentanyl coming over the border” or decides Denmark is a narco-state and invades Greenland?

    The reasons for the US invading Venezuela because “narcotics” was complete bullshit and anyone with a half brain should be calling it out.

      The EU has always been vassalized in the US Empire. it isn’t particularly surprising. They realize that it’s awful, but they benefit from it so they support it.

    Kallas only knows how to be tough on Russia; aggression from Israel or the USA is great for her, even when the European Union is the target, she is weak and pusillanimous.
