The flouting of international norms by the US is making the world more dangerous, German President Frank-Walter Steinmeier has said.
His remarks came after US President Donald Trump ordered a commando raid into Venezuela, abducting its president, Nicolas Maduro, and renewed plans to establish control over Greenland from Denmark.
“There is the breakdown of values by our most important partner, the USA, which helped build this world order,” Steinmeier said on Wednesday during a symposium at the Koerber Foundation held in honor of his 70th birthday, as cited by Reuters.
He urged efforts to prevent “the world from turning into a den of robbers, where the most unscrupulous take whatever they want, where regions or entire countries are treated as the property of a few great powers.”
“Attempts are being made to push even medium-sized states – and that includes us – to the margins of history, while small and weaker states are left completely unprotected,” Steinmeier added.
French President Emmanuel Macron also warned about the “risks to the international order in which we live.”
“The United States is an established power, but one that is gradually turning away from some of its allies and breaking free from international rules it was still promoting until recently, whether in trade, certain aspects of security, or various international forums,” Macron told the French diplomatic corps in Paris on Thursday. He earlier said that he did not approve “the method” of ousting Maduro by the US.
Trump told The New York Times in an interview published on Thursday that he did not “need international law,” and that he was relying on his own judgment instead. “My own morality. My own mind. It’s the only thing that can stop me,” he said.
>>2636506>something eventually has to give. This shooting might it. Between the killing itself, the extremly open bloodlust by MAGATs online, and now the calls for hangings by anti-ICE protestors; I'd say that things are heading towards uncharted territory.
>>2636520>that the aftermath of that is how the left will build itself up again and seize power.A good place to start for the left is to prevent these protests from being co-opted by the Dems like in 2020, which may be easy since the Dems have been doing a good job of making people hate them.
>>2636523you can probably still buy the LCP at least? if not that, just go get a glock 19 they are perfectly fine pistols.

>>2636544They've been chanting this for over 10 years when are they actually going to do something other than vote for Democrats (moderate wing of fascism)
>>2636549I have heard they just straight up pay people for the material
>>2636564to fix their loyalty to the current system, and can be reached and brought to a revolutionary conciousness with a the right program and effort especially as conditions worsen and the political legitimacy the empire has erodes even in the metropole
>>2636566>the right programSorry sweaty but the correct program is to kkkilll all the Amerikkkan treatlers

>>2636580yeah it's a fizzle
>>2636588What a dumb bitch
>>2636559I went with some other comrades. Many of the people we spoke to were hostile to the Democrats and were open to our perspective. The Democrats are very unpopular now, which gives us an opening.
we are gonna see Sheinbaun kidnaped, huh.
>>2636602Depending on how many comrades you went with you might want to try having a smaller protest at a different location with what connections you all have with different people and orgs
>>2636607Maybe not he seems to believe that shinebaum isnt the problem
>>2636591Long live the butcher hitler, who works in spite of himself to bring about a revived chicano movement
>>2636614I think his court viziers will be able to convince him otherwise (probably not up to kidnapping. but at least posturing with aircraft in Mexican airspace)
>>2636616
Man its a shame no one is pure enough for the leftcoms to think they dont deserve imperial harrasment
>>2636617Im guessing targeted assassination on el mencho or something
>>2636618Hey man I just recognize they get harassed by the empire because they aren't pure enough but you do you dog
>>2636606 oops, won't load in some countries
