What Venezuela Actually Is About
On January 3, the US launched an attack on the Bolivarian Republic of Venezuela and kidnapped President Nicolás Maduro. While the legal assessment appears largely undisputed (see here, here, here; denying an armed attack, Safferling), the analysis of the factual background lacks clarity. US President Donald Trump publicly claimed that the

A quotation from Wendell Berry
If you know even as little history as I do, it is hard not to doubt the efficacy of modern war as a solution to any problem except that of retribution — the “justice” of exchanging one damage for another.
Wendell Berry (b. 1934) American farmer, educator, poet, conservationist

A quotation from Wendell Berry
If I solve my dispute with my neighbor by killing him, I have certainly solved the immediate dispute. If my neighbor was a scoundrel, then the world is no doubt better for his absence. But in killing my neighbor, though he may have been a terrible man who did not deserve to live, I have made myself a killer — and the life of my next neighbor is in greater peril than the life of the last.
Wendell Berry (b. 1934) American farmer, educator, poet, conservationist

#Congress has not authorized any #ArmedConflict with drug #cartels. The draft #legislation, which the White House Office of Management & Budget [#RussVought #OMB #Project2025] has circulated within the executive branch for comment, would address that potential weakness in the admin’s argument — at least as a matter of domestic #law.

But the admin has insisted that #Trump has legal #authority, under his constitutional #power as commander in chief, to direct Special Operations forces to instead summarily kill those suspected of drug running as if they are combatants on a *battlefield*. Citing the roughly 100,000 overdose deaths of Americans each year, the admin has invoked *self-defense* & the #law of #ArmedConflict.

"#Trump sends #US #army to fight #Mexican drug #cartels
(..) It also raises legal concerns, such as whether killing criminal suspects outside an #ArmedConflict Zone would constitute #murder."
hmm 🤔
lemmy check my notes here .. legal stuff this, legal stuff that .. ah here:
Sending ones army into another country without their consent would indeed constitute something like .. 🧑⚖️🧮📕📚📓📜 .. ah yes there we go 🥁🥁🥁 : #war .
Yeah, thats the word.
