The US attack on Venezuela is rampantly and shamelessly illegal.
Donald Trump has repeatedly made it clear that the US wants to steal Venezuela's resources.
This gangsterism, trashing anything left of the 'international order', will pave the way for global violent mayhem.

The US has launched an unprovoked and illegal attack on Venezuela.
This is a brazen attempt to secure control over Venezuelan natural resources.
It is an act of war that puts the lives of millions of people at risk, and should be condemned by anyone who believes in sovereignty & international law.
