Скачать или смотреть 14,000 Troops, 1 Arrest How the U S Bent International Law to Seize Leaders

International law broken? 14,000 troops, 1989–today — how power seized leaders and rewrote the rules.
A sitting leader captured by force. Not extradition. Not consent. This video examines the Noriega precedent and how it reshaped international law from Panama in 1989 to the capture of Nicolás Maduro today.

Using the U.S. invasion of Panama and Operation Just Cause as a legal turning point, the video explains how criminal indictments, drug trafficking charges, and “self-defense” rhetoric were used to bypass sovereignty. What began as law enforcement quietly crossed into military force — creating a precedent where enforcement replaced consent.

We break down how Washington justified non-consensual arrests abroad, how international reactions at the UN and OAS exposed a legitimacy gap, and why success on the ground hardened a dangerous template. This is not a story of heroes or villains, but of language, power, and legal distortion.

The analysis then widens to global consequences. When major powers redefine crime as war, the threshold for intervention drops everywhere. Precedents set in Panama and Venezuela echo across the Global South, shaping how force, sanctions, and legitimacy are applied in Africa, the Sahel, and beyond. For states facing pressure from external powers — including fragile regions like Burkina Faso and its neighbors — these precedents matter more than rhetoric.

International law was designed to slow power down. This case shows what happens when power moves first and law is forced to follow.
