Kemi Badenoch says critics of Trump's invasion "couldn't find Venezuela on a map yesterday".

For context this is the first reference to Venezuela that I can find Kemi Badenoch ever having made in her entire political career

Six. It’s six percent
How many Americans do you think could find Venezuela on a map

Serious question. What percentage would you guess

Colombian President Petro commenting on the US;

“A clan of pedophiles wants to destroy our democracy. To keep Epstein's list from coming out, they send warships to kill fishermen & threaten our neighbor with invasion for their oil."

Yes he does...the destabilisation has created a greater risk of global war. He's in effect joining the US to Russia & China...Empires with spheres of influence.
He's neither friend nor ally.

I hate what Maduro did to his people as dutch. But I can not and will not rejoyce over breaking international law over invading another nation. Drugs and oil are not now, nor will they ever be a by law agreed means to opt for an invasion.

The UK government response to the Venezuela attack shows our true position after the fallacy of Brexit.....

..on a tightrope between the US and Europe hoping no-one shakes the rope at either end.

After only 1 year in office, fascist felon Trump creates war with Venezuela, as if to prove he is in league with Satan himself, gaslighting Americans about "narco-terrorists," while the real reason for bloodshed is to reward the oligarchy with 300 billion barrels of untapped oil.

#Butterflies there seems to be a relictance on the part of western leaders failing to call out US intervention in Venezuela.
Just bear in mind Trump's motivation. He does not support Democracy, nor Human Rights. He does not seek allies, he wants compliant client states.
That's all you need to know.

We should all be afraid of what's coming down the line, we need to be aware and we need our government to take action.

Right now the US is not just not our friend, it is our enemy.

It's the Monroe Doctrine (singular). It bars European powers from aggression in the Americas; it does not give the US that right. And Donald has no idea what the Monroe Doctrine is.

Time to trot out the cartoons of the giraffe and camel again.
Trump: "All the way back it dated to the Monroe Doctrines. And the Monroe Doctrine is a big deal. But we've superseded it by a lot. By a real lot. They now call it the Donroe Document. I don't know. It's Monroe Doctrine. We sort of forgot about it."

"We're going to run the country until such time as we can do a safe, proper, and judicious transition," Trump said

And by “we’re,” he means ExxonMobil and Chevron.

Next time you look at your greatly increased monthly bill for healthcare, remember that Republicans chose to use the money set aside for supplements to defray your costs to, instead, invade Venezuela to make ExxonMobil even richer.

Thank them with your votes.
