The "everyone is 12" explanation for Maduro's kidnapping is all I have left
Just the most Looney Tunes insane way to behave. Lord knows I had no love for the global order but at least it was a form of order.

The hypocrisy itself is consistent.
The EU always had rhetorical restraint toward the United States for military action in Africa and the middle east, decades worths of hesitation and diluted measures in response to Israel’s conduct in Palestinian territories, and complete absence of any pressure on strategic partners like Saudi Arabia or Turkey, and more recently the UAE despite persistently breaking international law.
For them it all depends on the actor’s alliance value, laws are just a language of convenience, invoked against adversaries, softened for friends, and quietly suspended when enforcement would carry a heavyy economic cost.
