Following the U.S. military strike against Venezuela on the 3rd, several U.S. senators, including Republican senators, questioned the legality of the operation. Arizona Democratic Senator Rubén Gallego posted on the social media platform X, saying, “This is an illegal war,” and that the U.S. has become “the world’s bully.” “We have no justification for going to war with Venezuela,” he added. “Regardless of the outcome, it was wrong for us to start this war,” he added. Another Democratic senator, Brian Schatz, wrote on X: “We have no vital national interest in Venezuela that justifies going to war. “We should have learned not to get involved in another foolish adventure.” Utah Republican Senator Mike Lee also posted on social media, asking, “I want to know: without a declaration of war or authorization to use military force, what constitutional basis justifies this action?” (Xinhua News Agency)
