Key Points:
- The Trump administration's actions against Venezuela are characterized as a deliberate attack on international law, notably violating the UN principle that forbids force without Security Council authorization.
- Unlike previous US interventions that sought some legitimacy through international institutions, Trump's approach disregards traditional alliances and legal norms, exemplified by the blockade and attacks on Venezuelan vessels deemed illegal by UN experts.
- The article links Trump with other authoritarian leaders like Putin and Netanyahu, accusing them of undermining international law through aggressive military actions and human rights violations.
- Canada's historical role in supporting international law and institutions like the International Criminal Court is emphasized, warning that it must prepare to counteract the destabilizing tactics of the Trump regime and similar "gangster" leaders.
- The piece calls for Canada
