“Trump and his minions have made a mockery of the laws of the sea and warfare. The blockade was deemed by UN human rights experts to have no legitimacy. It was considered equal to “an armed attack” because no credible justification was given and no Security Council vote took place.
Trump claimed the Venezuelans had stolen American oil – a ridiculous claim.
Similar ridiculous claims were made for the boats being hunted on the high seas.
These strikes represented murder on the high seas.”
“Trump has contempt for traditional allies in Europe and the Americas. What has emerged in place of the traditional alliances is a dangerous new alignment – a triumvirate of gangster leaders determined to undermine international law – Putin, Netanyahu, Trump.”
