    They haven’t followed their own laws since ww2. usa hasn’t been at “war” since ww2. They are all “armed conflicts” or “police actions.”

      Yeah, but the rules and the laws are different, that’s why they call it the “”“rules based international order”“” instead of international law. The rules are just something they made up, but they allowed themselves to be constrained by them. They could have removed Maduro or started war with Iran whenever they wanted, but that would go against the rules. That’s why they tried everything else under the Sun to destroy them without actually landing troops or dropping bombs. They didn’t want to do this without ideological rules-based justification before.
