    This post title is completely misleading. Kallas explicitly says that international law and the UN Charter must be respected - nothing about endorsing any invasion. She is saying the opposite.

    From the UN Charter (Article 2(4)):

    All Members shall refrain from the threat or use of force against the territorial integrity or political independence of any state.

      According to Kaja Kallas twit, “Mr. Maduro lacks legitimacy and [the EU] has defended a peaceful transition”. In my book, this means support to the USA invasion/special operation.

        The EU has repeatedly stated that Maduro lacks legitimacy and has defended a peaceful transition. A “peaceful transition” is not a military operation. In EU language it means elections, negotiations, and constitutional processes. Illegitimacy does not equal a green light for foreign force.

          1. Be a legitimate democracy because it is controlled by CIA
          2. Declare illegitimacy without evidence, because communist countries must be sanctioned and persecuted.
          3. Kill or kidnap said leaders.
          4. Promote peaceful, rules based order, transition to CIA approved leader.

          I would love to read the answer of Kaja Kallas to that question.
