The lack of a clear legal justification and the precedent set by the operation have left others wondering how vulnerable they might be to U.S. intervention.
Russia and China swiftly condemned the strikes and called for the release of Maduro, who has been brought to the U.S. to face criminal charges. Iran and Cuba denounced what they called a violation of international law, their objections carrying an edge of unease that they, too, could find themselves in Washington’s sights.
Even major European allies, more cautious and measured in tone, carefully signaled concern about the operation’s legality while largely aligning with the U.S. on policy.
Taken together, these responses suggest the revival of old fears of American interventionism, prompting allies and adversaries alike to ponder where Washington might act next.

Grow a pair, Europe.
Problem is: stupid senile president + no limit or empathy or concern over any existing laws+ full control over the financial system (visa, mastercard) and the numeric infrastructure (cloud, phones, …) + capable to tax you higher than his “enemy” = not a lot of margin
It’s not for nothing we said: don’t vote for this fucker.
You know, some things are worth going through temporary pain.
Fully agree and I can tell you that our dependence to technologies under usa control WILL DECREASE. I already asked my Executive Vice President LAST SUMMER how and when we could move on from American products.
But right now?
We use Google workspace (email, drive, etc) and phone (Android) to communicate and works across our worldwide locations, we use AWS and Microsoft as IT providers, we use Win11 and 10 000+ win servers or databases or softwares provided by American companies, we have plants in USA too, a lot of equipments used in our products are provided by American companies and our products are sold 50/50 in € & $. And the list can continue for hours ( .com is under USA control too and all our customers services use it).
So if suddenly, “Pumpkin(g) One” decide to call for a ban or a 200% increase of taxes or anything else as stupid because he don’t like our comment about his operation… WE ARE FUCKED! My company dies, my country economy is heavily fucked, I don’t have a job and lost 25+ years of my work because 30% of people across the ocean is not fucking able to detect fascists (or is ok with it).
People are PISSED right now, but they can tell as this fucker love playing a mafia boss and be a bully.
With the rise of fascism across the western hemisphere, I doubt anyone will act.
I said this when Trump first started and all the Europeans and Canadians were leaning into local nationalism and their neoliberal leaders doing the same. But I’ll say it again.
Capitalist Interest of the west are aligned. The fate of the working class of Europe will be the same fate as those in America. You are not somehow separated from the results of Imperialism that you have enjoyed. And you will not be able to avoid the decline of its benefits as the ruling class tightens it’s grip. Your leaders can “condemn” the legality. It’s even less effective than our supposed leftist politicians in America doing the same. Your leaders words are as useless as the words of Bernie Sanders.
Fascism is everywhere now, there is no escape anymore. Every country has already been bought. The wealthy won and people still worship money because they don’t know better. There is exactly zero awareness to this fact of life.
As long as wealth gaps and classism exists we are going to be stuck here.
The honest truth is that Europe benefits from what Trump just did. Venezuela has a lot of oil, which it can not produce due to lacking technology. What they had in that tech they bought from Russia financing the war Europe cares about the most. With more Venezuelan oil on the market oil prices will fall, which hurts Russia. At the same time lower oil prices means less money to wage wars in the Middle East, which is good for Europe.
He’s already started threatening other countries. He will keep going.
Greenland, Colombia, Cuba, Iran… The justifications for them being just as bullshit as Venuzuala, so undoubtedly there’s huge concern.
But look how long it took for other nations to react when Hitler started occupying country after country. Sadly, shouldn’t have hopes up.
Fascists always need an enemy to shift ire onto.
If a home invader breaks into your house, and kidnaps your sister, then says, “I’m taking her out to my van. I’ll be right back to kidnap you next,” you’d be freaking out, yes, but it would be weird to say that you’re freaking out because of the precedent.
It’s utter lawless lunacy. They’ve given carte balanche to dictators everywhere
All other countries should just ban the orange fuckhead from their lands. Use the fact he is a rapist, a pedophile, and a felon. Then those countries should join together and say they’d arrest ON THE SPOT a criminal like that, citing that’s what the US thinks it can do.
He should be tried by the ICC.
Unfortunately the US has the Hague Invasion Act and I guarantee 100% Trump will pull that trigger even if his buddy Benny is caught
Not that I disagree, though
“intervention”
Europe and the rest of the same world need to start sanctions on the Trump regime now and nip it in the bud, we all saw what happened when Putin got away with attacking Georgia and then invading Crimea without any serious consequences, Trump will only get bolder next time.
You mean unprovoked invasions, right? No need for the cutesy wording used here, this is what it is
Stop calling it intervention. It’s the terrorist state declaring war on the world, congrats Americans you are the Nazis now. And you are all cowards for not standing up to this by all means
And you’re a coward for not working on creating solidarity amongst them yourself. Way to attack those also oppressed by america. Try building a movement in your own country that doesn’t just let it lick the US’s feet before you go demanding that others do it in a country that has infinitely more guns pointed against them.
Why would I want solidarity among Americans? They’re nuts. Together they would be an even worse threat to humanity
Because that’s your only hope to stop your land from being invaded by the American government? Literally a majority of Americans oppose most of Americas actions when given context? You call others cowards but you have no real solutions yourself, your mindset is only a few degrees off from a Nazi think if you paint with such a large brush.
And what is YOUR country doing to resist the exact same Far Right pressure on your government? We’re the canary on the coalmine, and while you keep blaming the canary, the poison is growing in your country, too.
Im indigenous, my “country” is what you all took
Valid.
Correction: Former Allies
There’s no such thing as a U.S. ally, and the quicker other countries know that, the better.

Someone go grab Kim Jong Un for the lulz
☢️🚀⤵️ 🌇💥🔥
For real, if anyone deserved to be abducted it would be Kimmy Boy. Could you imagine the crocodile tears that mammas boy would produce. Would be worth every penny to see that monster break down.
Oh lol I was just having a intrusive thought like: I wonder what happens if you just yoink the leader if a nuclear-armed state… nuclear war?
In a sane world of course not. We don’t live in a sane world though. Hell, a country like Israel has nuclear weapons. That is the equivalent of a wolverine with rabies.
This was the whole point of nuclear disarmament. We can’t trust human beings.
Execute the pedo king!
Stop calling it an intervention. It’s an act of war and a war crime. Don’t downplay this shit.
Yeah they mis-spelled invasion
