I certainly hope the EU can put the same sanctions on the US for attacking Venezuela as they did on Russia for attacking Ukraine. This is indefensible.

@Gargron Sanctions against Russia (a terrorist country) are very weak. And Russia's circumvention of sanctions is ignored. If you want the same for the United States, that's strange
@Gargron
Actually I was wondering about the impact this intervention may have on the war in Ukraine, if it may weaken Russia.

@Gargron too meek and delusional. still hoping that “daddy” will come back to nato 🤦
Or, for a longer game... the EU could develop a similar snatch-squad capability and place it at the disposal of the ICC.
@Gargron they didn't even sanction the UAE for the genocide in Sudan. The reality is that the EU is celebrating the capture of Maduro privately
Operation Enduring Epstein
@Gargron - Sanction Trump and Hegseth. Seize all Trump Orgnization properties, like Putin's yachts.
@Gargron this leaves a door open for china to take Taiwan
@Gargron The EU will write a very strongly worded email that will never be sent because it’s vetoed by Hungry.
@Gargron they would get locked out of all their Microsoft accounts like the ICC.
@Gargron and on israel for the us-sponsored gaza genocide
@Gargron again, this just hurts people in us who dont support trump
@Gargron ... This two Situation are not the same and not comparable in that simplicity. So let's simply not do it this way.
I'm not backing up Trump or his reigin by saying this, but simplifying situations like this will certainly only fuel the devide of the extremes in our societies.
@Gargron there have needed to be sanctions on us for a very long time.
American here, and they should absolutely do it - we deserve it.
@Gargron I agree in principle, but sanctioning the US is economically an extremely much bigger ask than sanctioning Russia.
@Gargron Should. But won't.
@Gargron Entire Western World is Hypocrite.
@Gargron
They should impose actual sanctions, not the pretend ones used against russia. But they won't.
@Gargron As a US citizen, I agree completely.
@Gargron How the mighty have fallen! Russia invades Ukraine, USA invades Venezuela… How long will it take China to invade Taiwan, now that the example has been set?
@Gargron one can hope, but give the absolute dependency that the EU still has towards the US, that will not happen. We need to first:
- bring back Digital sovereignty to EU (Linux and FOSS pretty much only option)
- economic sovereignty (ECB are doing good work on this with digital EUR, etc - but they need more support)
- energy sovereignty: we need to urgently transition to renewables
- military sovereignty (unfortunatly still needed. Not sure how long it will take even with the significant increases in spending that we're seeing now)
foreign interference is always about ensuring compliance not democracy, despite the PR. we're fine with friendly dictatorships and always claim that there was corruption in the electoral system of any democracy that opposes US interests.
but sanctions, like war, should be decided at the UN.
@Gargron Just wait, people are scared of Trump changing that. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CMsLO4lsvpc
@Gargron can Europe please take Trump and Putin to the Hague : Putin for genocide and Trump for any of the thousands of crimes he gets away with in the US including pedophilia, rape, fascism, corruption, war-crimes, treason, insurrection, voter-fraud, destroying democracy ...
@Gargron This aggression will expose the hypocrisy of all EU nations, they all are colony of USA. They cant oppose USA as they oppose Russia.
Fking monsters
@Gargron of course you'd ask yourself that question how could you possibly know, being an obviously long-term victim of russian propaganda.
The actual question should be: Why the fuck haven't the US decapitated fucking Russia from Putin?
@Gargron Евгений, а ты правда понимаешь по-русски?
@Gargron This is an #invasion of another #sovereign country by #MAGAmerica which falls foul of #international #law. Unconscionable, no matter how bad the Venezuelan government is. #UN and #EU sanctions definitely called for.
#tRump the international #criminal. 🤦♂️🤦♂️🤦♂️
@Gargron Won’t happen considering the EU never recognized the Maduro government.
@Gargron yeah! Our Europe is well known for being brave and the Human Rights Mecca!
First Russia, then Israel, and now U.S.A.
for sure 😞
@Gargron won't happen when this is what the High Representative posted

@Gargron we are to weak to oppose the US. But we should be preparing for the eventuality that the Americans could one day pull the same shit with Greenland.
@Gargron Agreed and deserved. #fucktrump
@Gargron Always carefully check the skin colour / popularity of the people targeted.
@Gargron They didn't do it when the US and Israel attacked Iran, so they won't do it here either.
@Gargron You do realize that Russia is bombing Ukrainian cities for almost 4 years since large-scale war started and many years before, do you? I’m not saying there shouldn’t be consequences for US for what they did. I’m just saying that comparison is ridiculous and gives nothing but few more excuses for Russian propaganda to continue doing what they’ve been doing
@alex How is what I said giving any excuses for Russian propaganda?
@Gargron not your words per se, the fact that things are compared and looked at as they are they same
I hope I didn’t offend you. My point is that these things are not equal. However, they both are horrible and require prosecution
Fuck Putin. Fuck Trump. Fuck dictatorship and falsification. Fuck war
@alex Russia's invasion of Ukraine also started with a supposed "military operation". It is the same playbook. Do you want me to wait until more Venezuelans are dead before condemning the act of international aggression?
@Gargron what in my response made you think so? I’m just saying that comparison of two things is wrong
Nobody should die because of someone’s political or economic benefit. All the inter-state interventions and military operations must stop and never happen again
People lives matter the most
@Gargron 2026 - and the shitshow just continues.
@Gargron all it takes is to nit buy US products... Avoid big companies like coca-cola, mcdonalds, meta, microsoft, google and voila!
