The United States: Our president cannot be held accountable for his crimes in a US court of law. A president has absolute immunity.
Also The United States: Now watch us kidnap a president of a totally different country, to hold him accountable for his crimes… in a US court of law.
@randahl Conservatism:
“There must be in-groups whom the law protects but does not bind, alongside out-groups whom the law binds but does not protect.”
Anti-conservatism:
“The law cannot protect anyone unless it binds everyone, and cannot bind anyone unless it protects everyone.”

@randahl Well obviously one rule for the US and another for the rest of the world
-
In that case, surely the President of the United States can be kidnapped, taken to another country, and be held accountable for his crimes in a court of law there.
@davidtheeviloverlord - watch Agent Orange take far fewer trips abroad. Just in case.

@randahl oh he won’t stop with Venezuela, the goal was easily accomplished. He’s got his piggy little eyes on the next country because he thinks they’ll all fall to a few hours on land and some air support. It’s how greedy people think, the absolute worst thing that can happen is a greedy person getting what they want with little effort.

@randahl yes. Mind blowing. Absolutely maniacly lunatic. And the world is watching.

Today Venezuela, tomorrow Greenland and the whole American continent, Wednesday the world.
I'm really wondering what it's going to take for the rest of the world to wake up and treat the USA for what it is: Nazi Germany reborn.

@randahl Yeah like c’mon hasn’t anybody ever heard of The Hague
"Yeah like c’mon hasn’t anybody ever heard of The Hague"
The Hague
Riiiiiight.So tell me...whose going to come and get him?

Wait, they're going to sue the president of a country because his country has machine guns? Seriously?
They're going to need an extremely corrupt judge to make any of that stick.
@mcv @randahl @Paul_stilgar
"narco-terrorism conspiracy, cocaine importation conspiracy, possession of machine-guns and destructive devices, and conspiracy to possess machine-guns and destructive devices."Are they talking about Maduro or the CIA...?

The Franco-Prussian war, 1870, misled the Germans regarding the nature of modern warfare, and this misunderstanding lead to the Great War 1914-1918.
Venazuela was not ready, and outmatched, as was the 2nd French Empire, and any opppsiyion has not had time to respond.
Denmark will not be, nor will Canada.
As with Ukraine, there may be some quick gains, but the wars will grind on, destroying the US economy and military, as Ukraine has Russia's -

right after pardoning a different president who was convicted by a US jury of ... <checks notes> the same "offense"? make it make sense.

@randahl
He wasn’t President, he lost, he just kept the title. Much like Putin. Venezuela was a mafia state under him.Trump being a dick is entirely separate, but don’t credit Maduro. If Trump did that to Putin I would applaud.
Why and how Trump did it is a grave concern, but Venezuela isn’t Greenland.
@taatm @randahl
"Here's the fucked part about the "Maduro is bad" discourse - when have we ever done a regime change operation that improved anyone's lives? When? Which time did we take out the "bad guy" and the people we were "liberating" were like "thank you Yankee swine; you saved us!" When has the general population of a country we regime changed thanked us for bombing them?"

Who would be on the jury? US citizens? My predication is that he will be released after some kind of deal is made.️ -

Yep, common thieves... what a disgrace. Time to organize rebellion instead of bitching.

They enjoy this. Their only value measurement is:
"What can WE get away with?"
To them, the hypocrisy is nothing bad, it's a flex of their power.
