As Twitchy reported over the weekend, the European Union expressed that it was closely monitoring the situation in Venezuela, that situation being Delta Force capturing dictator Nicolás Maduro and bringing him to the United States to stand trial on drug and gun charges.
It took them a day, but Kaja Kallas, vice president of the European Commission, released a statement backed by 26 EU member states calling for "calm and restraint by all actors." In other words, meaningless tripe without teeth. Classic EU.
Then we had the United Nations, which called an emergency meeting over Maduro's capture. Yes, an emergency meeting over something that's already happened. Good luck with that. Here's Colombia's ambassador to the UN thanking Somalia, which heads the UN Security Council this month (and whose representative owns a healthcare company in Ohio), as well as China and Russia for their help bringing the emergency meeting into being.

SOMALIA: I give the floor to Colombia.
COLOMBIA: We thank Somalia—as President of the Security Council—for having quickly responded to our request to convene this emergency meeting, and we thank China and Russia for their support. pic.twitter.com/y0bA1H86YN
There is no reason for American taxpayers to be funding this anti-American circus. https://t.co/jkWkSDr9GF

Oh look, all the communist clowns support each other. Nice to see

I would also like to thank Somalia. They have helped my imaginary child lear a lot at their imaginary learing center.

What a effing joke. Somalia, then Columbia. Two of the most criminal countries on the planet

Does this group serve some purpose?

It's such a joke.

An SNL skit if SNL was still funny.

The only surprise is the lack of acknowledgement to Iran. I'm assuming that was expediency?
— Stephen Betley (@rouleur66) January 5, 2026
So all the same countries that are our enemies. Surprised Brazil and the commies in Brussels didn't chime in.

There you have it. The axis of evil

What a clown show.

Defund and close this clown car parade.

The UN is an absolute joke. Just shut it down already. At the very least, get them out of New York.
— Moral Tourism (@moraltourism) January 6, 2026
Seriously, if you're not going to shut them down, at least kick them out of New York and build a Trump hotel or some nice condos on the property.
