BRUSSELS, Belgium, Jan 3 (Reuters) - The European Union will impose a "massive and targeted" raft of sanctions on the United States that will cripple the country's ability to finance its full-scale invasion of Venezuela, European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen has said. "We will freeze American assets in the EU and stop the access of American banks to the European financial market," she added.

Try to imagine all of the white countries giving up their military assets to Venezuela. Lmao. It's so obvious how racist they are when you compare the disparate treatment of these two situations
