US Discovering 'Sovereignty' – Only When It Suits Them
When the US military 'captures' a sitting head of state from his own capital, drags him to New York, and calls it law enforcement, 'surreal' is indeed one word for it. Another might be 'illegal under international law,' a detail conspicuously absent from the mainstream narrative. This isn't justice; it's a televised flex of force, designed to normalize what would be universally condemned if China
or Russia attempted such an act on, say, Canada's prime minister. One might recall the historical precedent: Panama's Manuel Noriega, 'captured' in 1990 and brought to Miami. The charges? Drug trafficking. The context? Noriega had become inconvenient after years of being a CIA asset. The cycle repeats, only now they're bypassing the pretext, openly parading a sovereign leader as a trophy. The
sheer lack of diplomatic backlash from 'allies' raises questions: 'Rule of Law for Me, But Not for Thee' seems to be the quiet international understanding, particularly when the target is deemed an 'official enemy.'
