The Maduro kidnapping fallout:
Sovereignty and international law are now optional concepts.
The UN should just rebrand as the World Food Programme; the rest is expensive theatre.
Any country can indict another country’s leader-and if they don’t comply, apparently you can just kidnap them. So let's put a genocide case on Bush for the iraq war? On Obama for Libya?
Global energy security is no longer a market or a treaty - it’s whoever shows up armed.
Russia’s war in Ukraine can no longer be ethically singled out- it’s simply playing by the new rules of the Wild West.
What we’re watching isn’t diplomacy, it’s an open three-way power brawl: China vs. Russia vs. the US.
South American independence? More of a suggestion than a reality.
