“On 3 January, US special forces removed Venezuela’s president and brutal despot Nicolás Maduro from power. A few hours later, at a hastily arranged press conference, US president Donald Trump seemed even more pleased with himself than usual. Perhaps his excitement explains the Freudian slip. ‘I watched last night one of the most precise attacks on sovereignty,’ he said, before quickly correcting himself – ‘I mean, it was an attack for justice.’ But the truth was out. … But Trump’s legion loathers among our political and cultural elites are not seeing the Venezuela intervention as an attack on national sovereignty. No, they’re casting it above all as an attack on the so-called rules-based order itself.” (01/11/26)
