Hey everyone! Big headlines at the UN Security Council this week—China’s envoy Sun Lei is calling out the U.S. after its strikes on Venezuela, arguing that “No country can act as the world’s police.” 🌐✋
Sun Lei highlighted past U.S. interventions in Iraq, Latin America, and the Caribbean, saying they led to prolonged conflict and hardship for everyday people. His message? Unilateral force often backfires.
The emergency meeting was sparked by U.S. attacks on Venezuelan territory and the reported seizure of President Nicolas Maduro and his wife, who were then transported to New York to face trial. These bold moves have ignited debates about sovereignty and international law.
Sun Lei urged member states to prioritize cooperation over coercion, reminding us that true global security comes from dialogue and mutual respect. 🤝
What are your thoughts—should any nation hold policing power over others, or is it time to rewrite the playbook? Let us know below! 💬
