A group of United Nations experts on Tuesday condemned US President Donald Trump’s recent threats to wage war on Venezuela and said his decision to bomb at least seven boats in international waters—killing dozens of people accused without evidence of drug trafficking—amounted to “extrajudicial executions.”
Trump’s repeated threats against Venezuela “violate the fundamental international obligations not to intervene in the domestic affairs or threaten to use armed force against another country,” said the trio of experts, warning that the US president’s belligerence represents “an extremely dangerous escalation with grave implications for peace and security in the Caribbean region.”
Sigh. Donald Trump did not get elected to be President (Twice!) by giving a shit about what experts think…
Anyone remember during his first term when he had to be talked out of firing missiles into Mexico targeting supposed “drug labs”? This is the same thing but with a more politically acceptable target and fewer people to tell him no.
It’s brown people. We don’t care about those special military operations.
Let the “Slams”-ing begin
