Justice has been served. Kind of sort of.

If it's possible for the United States to perform an operation in Venezuela to capture Maduro, an elected oficial, and bring him to justice in an American court,

Why is it impossible to capture Benjamin Netanyahu from Israel, and bring his ass to justice in front of an International Court?

How does that work?

How about capturing mondami and giving him to Netanyahu

FrogManSometimesLooksBothWays · M

Maduro could be seized because the United States wanted him, had overwhelming operational power in the circumstances, and was willing to stretch or disregard contested international-law restrictions. Netanyahu remains free because Israel protects him, the United States protects Israel, and the international criminal system has warrants but no independent enforcement power.

Exactly.

I am still patiently waiting for you to address the hypocrisy of a state that , like you so eloquently affirm, goes into a sovereign nation and snatches their president because of his corruption, ( you said that not me) but on the other hand ignores and supports another who's been indicted for war crimes and blatant genocide.
I have a feeling I'll be waiting for a long time tho.

@TheHammer did you just say "patiently"?

NerdyPotato ·

It would be against international law, just like the capture of Maduro. But if you don't care about that, like the current USA administration, it's a matter of willingness. Capturing Netanyahu is just not something they're interested in.

@NerdyPotato
But I thought the capture of Maduro was all about The Law.

OHHH I get it . It's like that one movie where the dude says.

I AM THE LAW!!

But in this case it is the US saying it.

When you say ally, do you mean our puppet masters?

He's a pawn in Trump's games.

@zonavar68 I hear what you're saying, but tRump's current Iran disaster (based on an absurd theory of regime change) makes it look like tRump was a pawn in Netanyahu's game.

@zonavar68
I think it's the other way around.

TheHammer · M

@ElwoodBlues
Exactly.
