Why is Donald Trump “losing it” as the UN calls an emergency meeting on Venezuela?
donald trump is losing it this morning as an emergency united nations security council meeting has been called into session donald trump is making post after post while this united nations security council meeting is taking place trump is posting about the 2020 election and he continues to spread 2020 election lies saying that the election was stolen from him at the same time the security council meeting is taking place where we're hearing from Michael Waltz, Donald Trump's ambassador to the United Nations, who's saying that the Western Hemisphere should be controlled by the United States, and the reason that we invaded Venezuela was to take their resources, and we are going to assert this same type of right across the Western Hemisphere.
there's no mention of the un charter there's no mention of sovereignty this is just utter imperialistic raw you hear it for yourself listen to what michael waltz has to say here play this clip
as secretary rubio stated just yesterday This is the Western hemisphere. This is where we live. And we're not going to allow the Western hemisphere to be used as a base of operation for our nation's adversaries and competitors and rivals of the United States. You can't turn Venezuela into the operating hub for Iran, for Hezbollah, for gangs, for Cuban intelligence agents and other malign actors that control that country. You cannot continue to have the largest energy reserves in the world under the control of adversaries of the United States, under the control of illegitimate leaders and not benefiting the people of Venezuela and stolen by a handful of oligarchs inside of Venezuela.
Then the ambassador to the United Nations from the United States, Michael Waltz, said there was actually no war against Venezuela. He said it was just a law enforcement operation. Why is everybody calling this a war? Here, play this clip.
Colleagues, the United States successfully carried out a surgical law enforcement operation facilitated by the U.S. military against two indicted fugitives of American justice, narco-terrorist Nicolas Maduro and Celia Flores. Colleagues, Nicolas Maduro is responsible for attacks on the people of the United States for destabilizing the Western hemisphere and illegitimately repressing the people of Venezuela. As Secretary Rubio has said, there is no war against Venezuela or its people. We are not occupying a country. This was a law enforcement operation in furtherance of lawful indictments that have existed for decades. The United States arrested a narco trafficker who is now going to stand trial in the United States in accordance with the rule of law for the crimes he's committed against our people for 15 years.
A similar action was taken in 1989 against Manuel Then
the United States was getting condemned by everybody from China to Russia to Denmark. And here's the thing, you lose any moral high ground, you lose the right to assert the rights of other nations when you engage in these behavior that the United States has engaged in here. So this gave Russia the opportunity and China the opportunity to on a world stage to condemn the United States for attacking the world order.
What does Ambassador Michael Waltz say about the U.S. “law‑enforcement operation” in the Western Hemisphere?
That's one of the consequences of engaging in an unlawful invasion like Donald Trump did on Venezuela. So here's the Chinese deputy ambassador to the United Nations saying China is deeply shocked and strongly condemns this unilateral action by the United States. Play this clip.
On January 3, the United States blatantly launched large-scale military strikes against Venezuela, forcibly seized Venezuelan President Nicolas Maduro and his wife, and took them out of the country. It claimed that it will run Venezuela and even didn't rule out launching a second round of military operations on an even larger scale. China is deeply shocked by and strongly condemns the unilateral, illegal, and bullying acts of the U.S. For some time now, the international community has repeatedly expressed grave concern over the U.S. sanctions, blockade and threats of force against Venezuela.
