The US's blunt aggression against Venezuela and the kidnapping of its legitimate president and his wife isn’t just another geopolitical shift—it is the definitive funeral for the illusion of a world order based on 'international law'. For decades, we were told that international law and the United Nations served as a shield for all independent sovereign countries equally. Today, the orange swamp-drunk Trump has completely stripped away any fig leaf left, revealing a reality where military might is the only law that matters.
In his latest analysis published on Syria News, prominent German historian Stefan Heuer connects the dots between the 2003 illegal invasion of Iraq, the destruction of Libya, the war of terror on Syria, and the current aggression in Caracas. The pattern is impossible to ignore: international institutions don't exist to prevent conflict, but to provide a shouting venue while the P5 members of the UNSC nations that dare to assert their independence and their peoples' self-determination as enshrined in the UN Charter and International Law, as we were told to believe.
The masks have fallen; we are no longer hearing the "humanitarian" excuses of the past. Instead, the current regime in the White House is openly citing the Monroe Doctrine, treating the Western Hemisphere as a private estate and sovereign nations as assets his 'elite' inner circle will manage. This shift from diplomatic covers for covert interventions to blatant hegemonic invasions and overt military operations draws the correct picture of our dangerous times of "might makes right."
If we want to understand the future of global stability, we have to look at how we got here. The collapse of the legal framework that supposedly governed state behavior has left us in a world where weaker nations are once again treated as pawns by stronger and sinister powers seeking to exploit and usurp resources.
