I think the concept of "legality" is ambiguous at best when applied between sovereign nations. Legality is usually decided by the victors.

Regarding this case, look at some other similar examples for comparison: Was it "legal" to arrest Noriega? ...or Saddam Hussein?

Was it "legal" to attack Qadaffi to effect regime change in Libya?

You act like you know, so please tell me if you do know. I am not so confident. Strange that you act so confident, but avoid all discussion.

Query: Would it be "legal" for Mamdani to arrest Netanyahu? I don't think so under US law, because he is a mayor, not POTUS exercising his war powers. What say you?

If you don't think arresting Maduro was legal, how would you remedy the situation?...like we do in the US, by letting the arrestee go? Would you support releasing Maduro and reinstating him as the leader of Venezuela?

If you don't want to answer any of my questions, I will honor your wish not to discuss this issue. Or, perhaps you are not as confident of your position on these issues as you pretend, which is also fine, but how can you be so indignant when you are ignorant on the subject?
