Go to New York and defend Maduro then.

*shrugs*

I am not defending him, I am pointing out that Trump may not be able to prove all of this was for defense. Just saying. *shrugs at the absolute lack of getting it*

In respect to cocaine trafficking to its citizens? I think not.

The US isn’t seizing shipments when they have the intel to prevent sales and distribution. 

Because agencies at many different levels are making seizures from city to federal agencies.  So many law enforcement agencies cross the US make great efforts to stop cocaine from hitting the streets.

Amb. Waltz is giving a good reason for the Maduro capture.

Prove what.  There was already international warrants for Maduro’s arrest.

While ignoring the fentanyl coming in from Mexico. Next.

It's not up to me to prove anything, it's up to Trump to prove that he was doing it in defense of his country.

No.  It’s because there was international warrants for Maduro’s arrest.  That’s proven fact.

Same with fentanyl.

When I read Article 51 of the UN Charter, I did not see the "But whatabout" clause.

Could you point it out to me?

No.  It’s because there was international warrants for Maduro’s arrest.  That’s proven fact.

If your government officials are questioning it, then it's not cut and dried. I wonder what the House Democrats will say about it today.

"Days later, Trump administration officials privately told members of Congress much the same thing – that they lacked the legal justification to support attacks against any land targets in Venezuela."

"(Trump in November claimed he didn't need congressional authorisation for land action, but it clearly wasn't the consensus view in the administration.)"

"And the story of his stretching of the law certainly isn't over."

Trump attacked Venezuela and arrested its president. Is that legal?
