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 ... 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.
