A Planet in the Hands of Bullies

The author strongly criticizes the hypocrisy of the international community, particularly those who condemn Russia for its invasion of Ukraine but simultaneously justify or ignore the actions of other powerful leaders, such as Trump and Putin. They point out that both leaders violate international law and impose the “law of the strong” on other countries. The author focuses on the situation in Venezuela, where the US, under the leadership of Trump, seeks to take control of the country due to its vast oil reserves. They condemn the blatant military intervention and the abduction of the President of Venezuela, characterizing it as a gangster-like act reminiscent of colonial times. The author argues that Cyprus, which experiences the “law of the strong” firsthand due to the Turkish threat, should be more critical of violations of international law, regardless of who commits them. They denounce the inconsistency of Cyprus's policy, which condemns Russia but simultaneously shows understanding for the actions of the US. Overall, the article is a sharp denunciation of the hypocrisy and double standards that characterize international politics, as well as a call for consistency and justice in criticizing violations of international law.
