After the Venezuela strikes and extra judicial kidnapping of Maduro, why would Putin or China (or any of the Global South) think the West has any moral authority? Why would China think the US has any right to lecture it about its ambitions to seize Taiwan, for example? And as for the international rule of law, it is being shredded.
Trump claims Maduro directly runs a narco terrorist organisation rather than simply being an autocrat in charge of a corrupt state - of which there are far too many in the world. Letâs see if our intelligence services can furnish any hard evidence to the British prime minister supporting the charge of Maduroâs personal leadership of the cocaine and fentanyl cartel. If not Starmer is in a very difficult position.
How will the British Prime Minister and Foreign Secretary respond to this?
