U.S. Senate passes Venezuela war powers resolution 52-47, backing limits to block Trump from further Venezuela military action without congressional authorization.
Ok, they’ll brand it “national security operation” then.

The surprise invasion of Venezuela isn't imperial expansion driven by the dictates of capitalism; it is somehow even sicker. The Trump administration is behaving like gambling addicts chasing clout in an attention economy. Venezuela is a fucking meme stock. www.theverge.com/policy/85807...

I just left the Venezuela briefing.
It's worse than you thought.
Oil company executives seem to know more about Trump's secret plan to "run" Venezuela than the American people.
We need public Senate hearings NOW.

CROW: That's actually not true. The majority of the deaths by drugs in America are the result of meth and fentanyl. Almost none of that comes from Venezuela

A reminder that the US killed 80 people in Venezuela, and it would be nice if the US media cared enough to think that the life of a grandmother in Caracas whose building is destroyed by a US bomb matters as much as the life of a person in the US.

The weirdest thing about Americans is how many of them think their laws apply to every person in the world.
But they're certain other countries' laws don't apply to them.

The media need to stop beating their chests about how powerful our military is.
It's a point of pride when your country has a strong military that keeps the peace.
It's a source of shame when politicians turn your strong military into an international armed robbery gang.

Trump’s declaration that US oil companies are going to take over Venezuelan oil production reveals the true motive for this attack: seizure of the largest oil reserves in the world. Trump apologists can spin all they want - but this is clearly illegal, hypocritical and dangerous.

The US attack on Venezuela is neither an act of self defence nor does it have UN Security Council authorization. It is therefore totally illegal and a breach of the UN covenants the US has agreed to uphold as a Member State.

UN Charter Article 2(4) is a core principle of international law. It prohibits all states from the threat/use of force against the territorial integrity or political independence of any other state, banning war & coercion except self-defense or UN Security Council authorization.

Quick update for US media: the story is not about Maduro or what’s going on in Venezuela. It’s about the massive rupture in US history where the country now stands for invading and occupying any country it likes.
Trump in his press conference made it very clear this is a new age. Did you miss that?
