🌐 Singapore's Senior Minister Lee Hsien Loong sparked global dialogue this week by criticizing U.S. military intervention in Venezuela during the Regional Outlook Forum 2026, calling it a red flag for smaller nations.
💡 'If this becomes how the world operates, we’ve got a serious problem,' Lee declared, emphasizing Singapore’s stance against actions violating international law and the UN Charter. His remarks highlight growing anxiety among smaller states about power dynamics in global politics.
⚖️ The veteran leader stressed that military interventions undermine the rules-based order: 'For countries like Singapore, stability depends on everyone playing by the same rules—not just the strong imposing their will.'
📉 Analysts suggest this warning reflects broader 2026 tensions as nations navigate shifting alliances and economic pressures. With Venezuela’s crisis ongoing, Lee’s comments add fuel to debates about sovereignty vs. superpower influence. 🔥
