> Taoiseach Micheál Martin has declined to criticise the United States for its abduction of Venezuelan president Nicolás Maduro but said he would have preferred a peaceful transition to democracy in the country.
Further details on Gavan Reilly’s twitter which was not captured in the article.
> Taoiseach also admits there is “realpolitik” involved in European leaders withholding criticism of Donald Trump’s actions this weekend, for fear of upsetting a prospective peace deal for Ukraine which is “existential” for other EU members on Ukraine’s borders.
How far will that realpolitik extend. Will they withhold criticism when Trump annexes Greenland?

Not committing economic suicide is a good idea.

By all accounts, Maduro was a bit of a shit.
But I don’t have a lot of faith in Trump putting anyone better in his place.

Shape of the bot comments under this thread. The US illegal invasion of Venezuela ofcourse should be condemmed. Micheal has no backbone. Simple as that

Appeasement does not work, letting him have Venezuela is not going to keep Greenland, and mainland Europe, safe. Stupid, weak, shortsighted.

Martin has no balls whatsoever. He’s too busy kissing Trump ass.

Cowardly. As is the “think about the money” crowd. Is Ireland its own nation? Or have some of you decided to trade the Brits for Yank colonisation. Disgusting. Spain the only country in Europe with any morals on this.

Between him and Simon Harris, it’s embarrassing such snivelly, little weasels have been the “leaders” of the country.

One of the reasons I want further EU cooperation (even potentially EU federalisation ) is to further progress European scale of industry so we don’t have to put up with this vassal state crap.
I say this as a person who is not a fan of Maduro but knows this isn’t about liberating Venezuela.

the sooner we in europe treat The US as a hostile state similar to Russia the better, right now we’re still in the appeasement phase that we’ll soon regret imo

Yeah “international law” < “being bought off with corporate tax rate”
*What need you, being come to sense,*
*But fumble in a greasy till*
*And add the halfpence to the pence*
*And prayer to shivering prayer, until*
*You have dried the marrow from the bone;*
*For men were born to pray and save:*
*Romantic Ireland’s dead and gone,*
*It’s with O’Leary in the grave.*
Coward.
