There are international treaties under the United Nations umbrella that provide "laws" for wars and similar situations, but these are not really enforceable and barely work as a common denominator for enforcing stuff on poor countries.

For once, I agree with the spammer, but that doesn't change the fact that a Bitcoiner should know how to differentiate between right and wrong, otherwise they could become another spammer. View quoted note →

Right, you could say "international law" is the powerful countries telling the weak countries how they are expected to stay in line.

Is Trump doing anything, or is he just explaining away what the CIA does anyway?

When people have nothing to loose anymore & have stopped valuing their own life, they will identify those at the top. Realizing they have been betrayed, some may draw radical conclusions. They might have only "one shot" but sometimes those people live long! If we want such a system, ok. Be it!

International law doesn't apply if you label the state as a terrorist organisation. It's how you get around a formal declaration of war which exceeds the executive powers given to the president. Rule of war only applies in "war" not counterterrorism. Fancy right?

But abducting the president of another country without declaration of war is just a bullshit show. But the oil pays for it I guess.

I believe it violates our law. But, meh, the Constitution is just paper at this point.

International law is a joke; they invent reasons to justify invading you for having nuclear weapons or drugs.
