The US raid capturing Nicolás Maduro on January 3, 2026, triumphed tactically, yet skipped serious international legal defense. Unlike prior administrations that bent law to justify force, Trump's team relies on regime crimes and success alone, sidelining global norms. Without even hypocritical legal nods, as Orwell noted even hypocrisy needs a code, international law's binding force crumbles.
