the_jubjub_birdHas international law become a tyrant’s best friend? Democrats and foreign leaders are claiming that President Trump’s arrest of Venezuelan dictator Nicolás Maduro is illegal—at least as international law is interpreted by the reigning complex of professors, NGOs and multilateral bureaucrats.
United Nations Secretary-General António Guterres is “deeply concerned that the rules of international law have not been respected.” Joining him are the usual suspects, including safely-out-of-the-fray Europeans, China (“a clear violation”) and shameless Russia (“an act of armed aggression”). Our favorite is Hamas’s statement condemning the Maduro arrest as a “grave violation of international law” and “assault on the sovereignty of an independent state.”
Значит, старая социалистическая жаба Гутьеррес, Китай, Хуйлостан и вишенка на торте - ХАМАС!
Плюс весь яшинyakov_a_jerkov зоопарк во главе со смотрителем.
Mr. Maduro welcomed Hezbollah and used Cuban troops to impose his rule on Venezuela. The regime in Havana says 32 Cubans died defending Mr. Maduro. As our contributor Eugene Kontorovich writes, “It would be odd to read [Article] 2(4) as allowing foreign powers to use troops to prop up an illegitimate, unelected dictator, but not to remove him.”
The herd of instant analysts also claim the U.S. operation will give Vladimir Putin and Xi Jinping license in Ukraine and Taiwan. “Think of what Russia and China just learned,” Rep. Jim Himes, the top Democrat on the House Intelligence Committee, said Sunday on CBS’s “Face the Nation.” As if Moscow and Beijing don’t already trample international law when it gets in their way.
President Xi isn’t waiting on a new legal interpretation to seize Taiwan; that’s what his military buildup is for. China has ignored the international ruling against its island grabs in the South China Sea. Vetoes by China and Russia have neutered the U.N. Security Council. The International Criminal Court has become a weapon against the U.S. and Israel when they fight terrorism.
***
The only defense against global rogues is the deterrent of Western military force. That force was on display with flawless precision in snatching Mr. Maduro. And the demonstration of U.S. nerve and military prowess will do more than a thousand U.N. resolutions to protect the free world and make Russia, China and Iran think twice.
Liberal internationalism is a moral and political failure if it can’t distinguish between the aggression of Russia and China to swallow neighboring democracies and a U.S. military action to arrest a lawless dictator in league with the world’s worst actors.
