Trump’s Unprovoked Attack on Venezuela and International Law

Every time I say “He wouldn’t go that far”, he goes farther. All bets are off. Donald Trump has demonstrated no respect for human life or international law. The United States government has committed crimes that transgress not only the law but all sense of human decency. It is not just Venezuela that is at risk–it is every nation that has something the US wants, every human being who stands up for democracy and human rights, and the planet itself. This is not the first time, but this is our moment to either react or resign ourselves to authoritarianism at gunpoint.
