Kemi Badenoch's vision for a world where might makes right is as far removed from reality as a Greenland invasion by Donald Trump would be unthinkable. The Conservative leader's stance on Venezuela, however, was refreshingly candid, reflecting the new era of moral relativism in international relations.
In this topsy-turvy world, one man's 'regime change' is another's 'humanitarian intervention'. Kemi Badenoch's position on NicolΓ‘s Maduro is clear: his demise would be welcomed by anyone who values Western-style democracy. The fact that she didn't bother to check the international law behind this supposed coup just highlights how out of touch she is with modern diplomacy.
Badenoch's approach to international relations, however, reveals a deeper problem - her utter disdain for process and protocol. She wants to dispense with nuance and subtlety in favour of blunt force and decisive action. In reality, this means relying on the goodwill of others rather than forging genuine alliances. Her willingness to be seen as a willing accomplice to Donald Trump's actions only underscores this point.
When asked about her diplomatic acumen, Kemi Badenoch's response was characteristically dismissive. Her inability to acknowledge any criticism or engage with opposing viewpoints only serves to underscore her shortcomings as a future prime minister. We'd be surprised if she wasn't secretly thrilled at the prospect of war and the strong-armed tactics that often accompany it.
This interview also offered some insight into Kemi's views on Brexit, which appear to have taken a backseat in favour of her more pressing agenda: reshaping reality to suit her narrative. Her assertion that the UK's sovereignty is now unassailable is laughable given her earlier comments about other nations' sovereignty being subject to might makes right.
It remains to be seen whether Kemi Badenoch will take this interview as a wake-up call or choose instead to continue down her path of ideological one-sidedness. One thing is certain, however: if she does become prime minister, Britain's relationships with the world will undoubtedly change for the worse.
