Exclusive: US seizes Venezuelan President's plane, flies it to Florida (youtube.com)
September 2. Maduro not on plane. Seized in the DR and flown out to the US.
Who gave permission for US to do this in the DR?
Does US still respect heads of state who do not cooperate with the US? What are the rules of international relations US abides by?
What is the definition of international terrorism? What is the definition of act of war?
Does this exemplify world tyranny? What is the world international order?
It leaves a question for journalists to answer. Do they say ‘stole the plane’ or ‘confiscated the plane’ or ‘seized the plane’ (seized is perhaps most literal but is a weak word because it doesn't really have an identifyable meaning). Journalists will have to review the world order this month, because it's theft if there is no valid authority deciding and executing the action, it seems, and where do we place this authority in terms of level? It seems it would have to be global (which is in any case multi-partisan groupings, 5Is+Israel, BRICS, etc), but there does not seem to be any consensus today, the UN is probably held in lower esteem among people everywhere than it ever was and isn't considered a global authority by anyone as far as I know. #Journalism
