āThe unprovoked American invasion of Venezuela, the apparent decapitation of its government and the abduction or kidnapping (or āarrest,ā if we must) of Maduro and his wife are signs of both the Trump regimeās strength and its fatal weakness. That isnāt a contradiction, exactly. Itās more like an existential dilemma, both for our bewildered and benighted country and for the world.
On one hand, Donald Trump is tangibly losing popular support, physical strength and cognitive capacity. His administration and his political movement are almost literally bleeding out, plagued by infighting and faced with likely defeat in the upcoming midterm elections. This reckless violation of international law ā specifically, if anyone actually cares, a violation of Article 2(4) of the U.N. Charter, which states the basic principle that nation-states must respect each otherās sovereignty ā is an act of political desperation, like a drunken gambler going all-in on a bad hand at 3 a.m.ā

And of course Trump will get away with this crime as with all the others.
Trump violates international law and domestic law with impunity, the consequence of the culpability of the authoritarian right, the failed American Experiment, and the stupidity, ignorance, and apathy of the American people.
