If only there were some sort of World Deliberative body, organized at the global level, where disputes could be taken and grievances aired, and possibly resolved by member nations acting in concert. Oh well.

Poor Corbyn
Surprised the BBC held his feet to the fire.
Corbyn never met a far left dictator he didn't love.

OMG. How much do these legacy media websites suck? I browsed the source page, battling pop-up adds, and never saw any video of the exchange. Perhaps it was all print but I was too distracted by defending my PC from the website to notice.

And not only Venezuela. This is Trump’s way of getting out the “truckloads” of 2020 US election fraud evidence that he keeps posting about.

Well, Venezuela isn’t the USA, right? How come a blatant stolen election didn’t rise to the level of the UN? Did it even get mentioned? Just sayin’.

That was the original intent of The League of Nations and the United Nations, but both have been abject failures.

Try asking your favorite AI chatbot to find the video link...they're pretty good at this stuff and no pop-ups. The other nice thing is chatbots are forgiving about spelling and punctuation which can mess up regular search engines.

Maduro cheated and stole the election.

The communist/marxist left are melting down.

Example, as hear on my morning radio station.

But, But But, Trump said he was going to run Venezuela!!!

Reality, we exercised a warrant on a drug kingpin. Said drug kingpin had a $25 million bounty on his head. Venezuela VP elevated to President and approved by their supreme court. Hundreds of other cartel minions keep their jobs.

Go forward. Communists, marxist, cartel members knock it off with their shenanigans, hijinks and tomfoolery and focus on citizen welfare. Or else, we drop jdams on their heads

Jeremy Corbyn is the UK version of Joe Biden's wasteoid brain. He never became PM, Keir Starmer did and is the Corbyn of our era.

Well, Mea Culpa. They mentioned it.

Nothing further? Yeah. That’s what I thought.

Why would a left wing politician be so upset that a socialist who stole an election got removed?

Could one reason be that, after canceling some UK elections, they intend to just steal the next one?

Of course you haven't looked into it to see if anything further was done, just like you didn't know anything about it in the first place. Right?
