Socialists across Europe reacted with outrage over the Trump administration’s successful capture of Venezuelan dictator Nicolás Maduro on Saturday morning.
In a pre-dawn series of strikes and raids ordered by U.S. President Donald Trump and led by the elite Delta Force army unit, Nicolás Maduro and his wife were captured and are set to face criminal charges in the United States over suspected narco-terrorism.
The toppling of Maduro will likely lead to the end of nearly three decades of socialist rule in Venezuela, during which time the oil-rich nation was reduced to one of the most impoverished countries in South America after previously standing as one of the most prosperous.
Despite a record of economic failure, countless alleged human rights violations, and accusations of using electoral fraud to remain in power, the regime in Caracas has long enjoyed the support of socialists in Europe, including former UK Labour Party leader Jeremy Corbyn, who praised former socialist leader Hugo Chavéz upon his death in 2013 for having supposedly shown “that the poor matter and wealth can be shared.”
In response to the toppling of Maduro, Corbyn said: “The US has launched an unprovoked and illegal attack on Venezuela. This is a brazen attempt to secure control over Venezuelan natural resources.It is an act of war that puts the lives of millions of people at risk — and should be condemned by anyone who believes in sovereignty and international law.”
Corbyn’s far-left Your Party co-leader Zarah Sultana added: “Venezuela has the world’s largest oil reserves — and that’s no coincidence. This is naked U.S. imperialism: an illegal assault on Caracas aimed at overthrowing a sovereign government and plundering its resources. Starmer’s Labour government must condemn this unequivocally. Solidarity with the Venezuelan people.”

European Far-Left Rage over the USA having the global election rigging infrastructure that they stole their power with is more likely
I wish we could do North Korea next
Take your “International law” and shove it.
Let them rage. It is sound and fury coming from idiots while their homes are appropriated by islamic hordes. But the US is the problem. Ha.
Most of EU should be begging Trump to come do their country next.
quote “plundering its resources”
LMAO
Surely they mean taking back what was STOLEN from us! Since it was US that found and developed the oil there originally and then it all was stolen from us.
SEEMS EVERYONE ACROSS ‘THE POND” IS FORGETTING THAT OIL COMPANIES GOT THEIR ASSETS SEIZED & “NATIONALIZED” UNDER VENEZUELA RULE.
NOT VERY MUCH VENEZUELA $$$$$$$$$ EVER INVESTED
FACILITIES BUILT THERE STOLEN
More evidence this was a good idea.
How about the “international law” Maduro repeatedly violated by shipping literal tons of illicit drugs to the United States, with the wilfull intent to cause grave harm to America and its citizens. Do these European fkwads consider that aspect?
Know what? I don't give a crap what they think.
I hope they don’t retaliate and capture Joe Biden. That would be awful!
Hark, the eurotrash speaketh!
Good. Anything that pisses these people off is a good thing.
They aren’t the only ones, the democrat message boards are in an uproar.
They’re some of the most bloodthirsty savages when it comes to the Russia Ukraine War, but when it comes to getting rid of troublesome leftist leaders in the Western Hemisphere they aren’t keen on the idea.
“Hmmm, I wonder why?”
Who passes international law?
The Venezuela people can look forward to being free and and having prosperity. Socialists hate that.
The democrats here are already complaining about this.
