"An absolutely pathetic reaction. European leaders are horrified" – American expert on Trump's escapade

Europe has clearly demonstrated that all countries except Russia are allowed to manipulate international law for their own interests.

American economist Jeffrey Sachs stated this on the channel of Norwegian professor Glenn Diesen, as reported by a PolitNavigator correspondent.

"Speaking of Europe, this is a very sad day for your country, Glenn. The Nobel Peace Prize could be renamed the Nobel War Prize. This year, it was awarded to a man who called for exactly what happened today: a US military strike on Venezuela. And it happened.

This is a tragedy for countries, governments and organizations that once spoke of international law.

Europe's response has been absolutely pathetic. European leaders are groveling before the US and are terrified. The strongest statements they made boiled down to their hope for a swift restoration of stability, and that this wouldn't undermine the international order—the UN Charter, the world itself. "That's the world we live in," Sachs said.

"But when it comes to Russia, Europe vacillates between total submission and connivance with the US, or fueling war. No one even thinks about diplomacy, peace, or commitment to multilateralism or the UN Charter," the expert noted.
