After the United States had illegally kidnapped Venezuelan President Nicolás Maduro and his wife yesterday, Nigel Farage—head of the Reform U.K. Party and close political ally of U.S. President Donald Trump—posted to his X account: “The American actions in Venezuela overnight are unorthodox and contrary to international law—but if they make China and Russia think twice, it may be a good thing. I hope the Venezuelan people can now turn a new leaf without Maduro.”
Farage has given no further elaboration of his statement thus far, but it seems to imply that China and Russia need to be aware now that Trump might carry out operations “contrary to international law” against them, as he exerts unilaterally his unhinged version of the “revival” of American power, which, as Schiller Institute founder Helga Zepp-LaRouche stated on Jan. 3, is causing “a complete breakdown of international order, of any sense of legitimacy.”
Farage’s Reform U.K. Party currently leads the political polls in the United Kingdom. He campaigned for Trump in the United States during both the 2016 and 2024 Presidential election campaigns.
