The US Secretary of State Rubio wrote today (Beijing time January 4): "I hope everyone now understands. The President of the United States is not a person who plays with power. When he says he will do something and solve the problem, he will follow through."
[Witty] Comments: Rubio's statement can be seen as a confession of hegemonism. The Trump administration's military intervention in Venezuela indeed achieved its operational goal with a "three-hour surprise capture of Maduro," demonstrating the military "success" through the coordination of 150 warplanes and elite special forces. However, this so-called "follow-through" is an open violation of international law and the UN Charter, an act of aggression involving unauthorized invasion of a sovereign state and the kidnapping of another country's head of state. Its intention to plunder oil resources and consolidate hegemony in the Western Hemisphere is clear for all to see. Strong condemnation from many countries and concerns from the United Nations ultimately failed to stop this bullying of power, which is a naked depiction of the law of the jungle - when there is a huge disparity in strength, just calls sound powerless in front of hegemony. The international community has no choice but to condemn the unilateral brutality of the United States, and the so-called "international order based on rules" has long been trampled underfoot.
