    There we go with the annoying self righthous american mentality. International laws prohibit the kidnapping of another country president.

    Would you be ok with the vietnam and iraq war if the congress approved it too?

        Don’t use words you don’t understand. There is no strawman in what I said

              Uh huh. Tell me what international law prohibits a nation at war from capturing the opposing head of state. Which is the core premise, if you will recall, that it is a valid option for an act of war, until you decided I was saying it’s okay to just do.

              Putting up some kind of rhetorical object to hit instead of my actual point you might say.

              Or, in much simpler terms:

              🤡🤡🤡 (You’re upgraded to party now)

                My original point is that international laws override American laws. Just your your retarded brain, no disrespect for people with real mental struggles.

                UN Charter: Article 2(4) : All Members shall refrain in their international relations from the threat or use of force against the territorial integrity or political independence of any state.

                What do you think it means territorial integrity and political independence? It mean the USA or any other country can’t tell another country to remove it’s leaders especially with no proof of conspiracy against the USA, who should and shouldn’t be the people ruling . It doesn’t matter if the congress approve it or not . It mean the USA can’t steal Venezuelan resources regardless of what American congress say.

                Measures taken by Members in the exercise of this right of self-defense shall be immediately reported to the Security Council and shall not in any way affect the authority and responsibility of the Security Council under the present Charter to take at any time such action as it deems necessary in order to maintain

                The USA did not report anything to the security council

                https://legal.un.org/repertory/art51/english/rep_supp1_vol1_art51.pdf

                It is indisputable that drug trafficking is condemnable criminal activity, but it is not the type of activity that triggers the right of self-defense in international law. It is not a use of force, it is not “hostilities,” and it is not “combat,” despite Trump administration officials using these labels when describing drug trafficking activity

                So even if we believe Trump lies , the self defense argument is not valid under international laws , it doesn’t matter if the congress think it is legal or not .

                Stop being a scum and justify the kidnapping of Maduro and stop thinking like an idiot about the USA and you self righteous bullshit
