We should be clear about what is
happening here. Donald Trump's authoritarian regime has launched a war that is
illegal both nationally and internationally since it was not sanctioned by the
US Congress or by multilateral international organizations. The Trump regime
has apparently kidnapped the recognized head of a sovereign nation, violated
that country's airspace, and launched violent attacks on its sovereign
territory.
The neighboring Colombian government is
calling for emergency meetings of the United Nations and of the Organization of
American States.
Donald Trump, in the name of the United
States, has engaged us in a war of aggression and turned the US into a rogue
pariah state that is no different than the dictatorship of Vladimir Putin in
Russia in its unprovoked action against other sovereign states.
