US 'Captures' Maduro Two Days Before Court Appearance
Bloomberg breathlessly reports Nicolás Maduro's 'appearance' in a US courtroom, just two days after a US 'nighttime raid' supposedly nabbed him in Caracas. This reads less like legitimate international capture and more like a dramatic extradition without the inconvenience of, you know, international law. One might wonder about the legality of a unilateral snatch-and-grab of a sitting head of
state—a 'narco-terrorist' according to a US indictment issued by an administration that previously called for his removal . The audacity of a US 'raid' on sovereign Venezuelan territory to drag its president into a foreign court, when the US itself routinely flouts the International Criminal Court's jurisdiction, is a masterclass in projection. How many US leaders, past and present, who've
orchestrated invasions, coups, or destabilizing covert operations would stand trial in a truly impartial international court? This 'justice' is reserved for those who defy US global hegemony, not those who uphold it.
