He's not in Venezuela

 

Well, no one's going to exactly miss Maudro and his regime but the casus belli of Trump's new war - narco terrorism? - is flimsier than a piece of Andrex.  It's interesting that he says the US is now going to run Venezuela as going to war used to be a decision that could only be made by Congress.  Also regime change is an illegal war aim... Keir Starmer is slithering round as usual trying to avoid saying that the US attack on Venezuela is anything other than a flagrant breach of international law.  I mean, who ever heard of narco-terrorism?  Well, actually it seems the term was coined by United States Attorney General William Barr who accused Maudro of it... Although what it consists of I'm not sure? Nose powder of mass destruction?  Surely hardly an issue going to war over?  Previous the US Justice Department put a huge bounty on Maduro leading to people teasing them that "I think he's in Venezuela".  Well, he's not any longer...


I wonder what the MAGA base will make of their new illegal war and colony?  This has been on the horizon for a long time with the US making gruesome unprovoked attacks on shipping.  I guess with Canada and Greenland not turning out to be pushovers, Trump went for the weediest child with the least friends in the class...

I see the usual US apologists are abroad telling us International Law never really existed despite the fact modern international law is a US invention born out of Woodrow Wilson's 14 points.  And they certainly made a big song and dance about it in 1945...
Keir Starmer of course has the spine of a jellyfish 🪼 and is all "we need to see all the facts".  And of course there's the classic "it's not for me as a political to interpret International Law".  Top tip: that's what you have an Attorney General for.

In case anyone's still in doubt that it's all about oil, Mr Eyeshadow spells it out for you...
