So now we can add “directly capturing a sovereign leader” to the list of crap the US has done. So what do you think will actually be “the straw that broke the camels back” for world leaders to actually do something? Think it’ll be significant or something mundane?

    Don’t forget that we’ve done much worse. Obama straight up assassinated Bin Laden in a foreign country.

    But I mean honestly, we’d have to lose a significant amount of military power and if any substantial alliance ever formed against us, we’re looking at mutually assured destruction.

        Going into a foreign country to assassinate someone is a worse crime than kidnapping someone, yes roflcopter

            Bin Laden was not convicted of any such crime and it still has not been demonstrated that he did. He said he was not behind the attack and only claimed so later. But if a brainless dumbfuck believes that it’s acceptable to do whatever one wants because might makes right, a brainless dumbfuck would also support the Maduro kidnapping. Lololololololololololololololol
