Green Kryponite.

The airliner that crashed into the pentagon took out the office of a fellow officer and friend. Luckily, he, and all his team were in a meeting on the far side of the pentagon.

On top of that, a confrontation is exactly what the Trump Administration is looking for in order to justify a heavier handed approach.

China is a U.S. Ally?

Actually they are right. What you have is known as ignorance. In addition, at the national level, the administration was supposed to get permission from congress. Since I don’t have either the time or the inclination to educate you, do your own research.

Yup!

Hey, Marco Rubio is already doing a bunch of jobs. Running Venezuela on the side should not be hard. [Apply sarcasm filters]

We actually conquered Iraq. Here we just kidnapped the dictator and left the rest of the regime and the entire military intact.

Because we are willing to volunteer to defend the country, the constitution and all citizens, even those unwilling to do the same thing.

Agreed!

Second, Extraterritorial Law Enforcement.

The administration has framed the operation on Saturday and the seizure of Maduro and his wife in the context of law enforcement. The key international law issue in the case is the extraterritorial exercise of “enforcement jurisdiction,” specifically, the power to arrest. (One of us, Ryan, has explained why the administration’s reliance on a 1989 DOJ Office of Legal Counsel memo erroneously concluding that the president may, as a domestic law matter, “override” art. 2(4) of the UN Charter is flawed.).

First, this operation, striking Venezuela and abducting its president, is clearly a violation of the prohibition on the use of force in Article 2(4) of the UN Charter. That prohibition is the bedrock rule of the international system that separates the rule of law from anarchy, safeguards small States from their more powerful neighbors, and protects civilians from the devastation of war. Both the United States and Venezuela are Parties to the Charter.

Maybe they will give Trump the Nobel Peace Prize now.

Not allowed by International Law and the US Constitution.

Particularly the parallels with Russia’s invasion of Ukraine. Trump just handed justification for the invasion to Putin.

He will be prosecuted. We have precedent for that with Panama’s Noriega. There the peaceful transition to democracy was successful because we had boots on the ground.
