The United Nations General Assembly again witnessed a embarrassing show of abuse of power, when the president of the United States, Donald Trump, publicly threatened Venezuela and his government, which he described as a terrorist, with total elimination through force.
«We warn you that we will eliminate them completely. That is what we are doing. We have no other option. We cannot allow this to happen there, ”said the president despite the growing questioning of his procedures in the Caribbean, where he has ordered to kill without trial formula for crew of small boats, which he accused without evidence of transporting drugs to the US.
“Recently we have begun to use the Supreme Power of the US Army to destroy Venezuelan terrorists and the traffic networks directed by Nicolás Maduro,” said Trump, who again was indebted to present evidence on these accusations and ignored that drug trafficking is practically null through the Caribbean Sea roads.
Trump promised to “bomb” all vessels that traffle drugs “so that they cease to exist.” “We have no option,” he added in the middle of the UN General Assembly.
The Trump administration appointed the extinct criminal band Train de Aragua as terrorist groups, of which it has not shown a single test of major criminal actions. On the contrary, US’s own intelligence admitted that there is no relationship between that band and the Government of Venezuela, which caused the dismissal of the investigators of the case.
Rejection of extremism
Earlier, Brazilian president Luiz Inacio Lula da Silva had rejected US threats against Venezuela, and asked the UN to intercede to resume the path of dialogue with the government of the Caribbean country.
Lula rejected from the UN the deployment of a military operation in the Caribbean under the argument of the fight against drug trafficking, after considering “worrying” that crime with terrorism is compared.
In his speech before the United Nations General Assembly (UN), Lula urged to maintain the region of Latin America and the Caribbean as a peace zone, since it is a priority that the continent is “free of weapons of mass destruction” and ethnic or religious conflicts.
“The most effective way to fight drug trafficking is to cooperate to suppress money laundering and constrain the arms trade,” said Brazilian president, who condemned the “use of lethal force in situations that do not constitute armed conflict.”
The president of Colombia, Gustavo Petro, has described the actions of the Trump government as “summary murders”, because they are being carried out without presenting any judgment formula against the bombed people.
Countries in the region belonging to CELAC, ALBA-TCP, and on the other side of the world Russia, China, Iran and India, have expressed their energetic protest in the face of the procedures of the New York tycoon, which today has been evidenced with the confession of crimes and violation of human rights.
