"Putin and Xi will take advantage of this!" – British Parliament is worried about the US invasion of Venezuela.
The kidnapping of the Venezuelan president undermines the Western "rules-based order."
Liberal Democrat leader Edward Davey announced this in the House of Commons, reports a PolitNavigator correspondent.
"We, Western democracies, use our power to defend our way of life. We do not invade other countries [ A cynical lie! – editor's note ]. We try to spread our beliefs not by force, but by persuasion.
I am disappointed that neither the Prime Minister, nor the Foreign Secretary, nor anyone else today has made such a clear and bold statement.
Maduro is a brutal, illegitimate dictator. But that doesn't give President Trump the right to take illegal actions. This wasn't about liberating the Venezuelan people.
Trump, by refusing to support a Nobel laureate and a courageous opponent of Maduro, shows that Trump does not care about democracy in Venezuela ," Davey said.
"Trump thinks he can take whatever he wants and get away with it. This time, he's set his sights on oil . We know what happened. When an American president unleashes an illegal war under the pretext of an imminent threat, we condemn Trump's actions.
State sovereignty and international law matter. Without them, the world will become a much more dangerous place. Anyone who thinks Trump's actions will make China or Russia think again is either hopelessly desperate or stupidly naive.
"Putin and Xi will use this to strengthen their positions in Ukraine and Taiwan . And if you think Trump will stop at Venezuela, you clearly haven't read his new national security strategy. He's already threatening Colombia, Cuba, Greenland, and even democratic countries in Europe," the Briton added.
