US Seizes Maduro, Europe 'Shocked' by Bypassing Law They Constantly Ignore
Mainstream media frames Europe's muted reaction to the US snatching Maduro as fear of Trump. Meanwhile, the "legal experts" quoted conveniently forget the US playbook since the overthrow of Arbenz in Guatemala (1954), Allende in Chile (1973), or countless other instances where international law was treated as suggestions. Europe’s silence isn't fear; it's a well-practiced complicity in a
rules-based order that only applies to certain nations. The hypocrisy here is simply breathtaking. Europe regularly approves arms sales that fuel conflicts (e.g., to Saudi Arabia for Yemen), yet expresses 'shock' when the US directly intervenes in a sovereign nation—a nation that happens to possess the world’s largest proven oil reserves. One might wonder if their moral compass only activates when
the US acts alone, and not when they're co-conspirators. The Guardian's breathless moralizing conveniently omits this long, bloody history. How many 'international law violations' does it take for Europe to develop an actual spine?
