When International Law Breaks: Venezuela and U.S. Power

What would happen if Russia or China abducted the sitting president of the United States? Emergency U.N. sessions. Sanctions. Threats of war. In this episode of Behind The Headlines , Mnar Adley examines why the forcible seizure of Venezuelan President Nicolás Maduro is being treated by Western media as a political development rather than a grave breach of international law. The episode breaks down U.S. sanctions policy, media narratives, historical precedents, and the broader geopolitical campaign against Venezuela and the Bolivarian Revolution.
