Very well, my friends, let's talk about all the consequences of the United States' action in Venezuela, beyond the obvious: the liberation of Venezuela from Nicolás Maduro, the Venezuelan people's celebration, and perhaps — and here I'll go deeper into this topic — being freed from an oppressive dictatorship and holding Nicolás Maduro accountable for all his crimes.
Well, I'm on vacation here in Utah, which is the state where my sister lives; I'll ask the editor to put in some footage so you can see the beautiful mountains.
I decided, after the dust settled a bit from the United States' action in Venezuela, to share some reflections with you about the consequences, because this is undoubtedly a historic milestone, especially regarding the sincerity of world leaders when it comes to military actions that defend their countries' interests.
The end of dissimulation. The end of the pretense of international law and multilateral relations.

Why do I say it's the end of dissimulation?
Because some people have been saying it's a very bad precedent that Trump set by carrying out this operation in Venezuela, but look, folks, it's not a precedent at all.
There are plenty of precedents.
Bush did this, Obama did this; Bush did it with a direct military action, Obama preferred to try to destabilize the regime by arming rival factions.
rival actions, that regime he wanted to depose.
Even Russia's action in Ukraine has already shown that international sanctions, international punishments for violations of international law are worth nothing.
Those who have force exercise their force; they defend their country's interests.
Those who don't have force cannot do absolutely anything about it.
There is no great international court with an international police force with the power to hold a State accountable that violates international law.
It is a fiction; it doesn't exist.
Whenever the United States needed to defend its interests by force, they did so.
Whenever Russia needed to defend its interests by force, it did so.
China doesn't even consider the conflict with Taiwan a matter of international law; it considers Taiwan part of China and there's no discussion.
in relation to a declaration of war, because you don't declare war on your own country, even knowing that, in fact, it's a war situation, because Taiwan has an autonomous government.
In fact, the United States already deploys its forces there and to South Korea, as a message to China saying, look, I know you've been preparing an invasion of Taiwan for a long time.
This is also a concern for Japan; I've already made several videos talking about this.
Japan's new prime minister, Sanae Takahichi, even made a statement about Taiwan that greatly upset the Chinese regime.
So, China already didn't care about the so-called international law, it just didn't make it explicit.
Russia made it explicit, Europe imposed sanctions and such, but it didn't help at all.
Sanctions from the United States didn't help at all either; the invasion continued.
The United States has always done this, but with the discourse of not doing it.
They have weapons of mass destruction, they have chemical weapons, it's to bring democracy.
And in the end it was none of that.
The United States defending United States' interests.
Brazil, in this Venezuelan action, is put in a humiliating position.
Why?
It should be Brazil's role, as the strongest, most powerful nation in South America, to liberate the Venezuelan people.
The police... of South America, the strong country of South America, responsible for guaranteeing order, responsible for maintaining peace, cohesion on the continent, in the South American region.
that should be Brazil.
But Brazil's Armed Forces are absolutely rundown.
The money the Armed Forces have, for the most part, goes to personnel expenses.
It's not for investment in technology, not for the development and strengthening, in fact, of our forces.
Our public investment — well, you all know all the problems I've been talking about for a long time.
having a very compulsory character, not having investment, therefore not having long-term returns, not reducing Brazil's costs, not developing infrastructure, not investing in science and technology, and so on — all the consequences of having a rigid budget as we do.
But in short, it's obvious that from the disingenuous perspective of international law, there was a violation by the United States, however much it may be the critics' view, the view of those who attack this action — which is not my case; I think the action had to be taken — and however much it may be to defend United States' own interest, even if it's about oil, and not oil for the United States itself.
