General Discussion

But the US would scream bloody murder if someone indicted our President and then came in with jets to bomb us using "law enforcement" as a justification. But that has been the US stance since our founding. It's always perfectly OK when we do it to someone else but never OK if someone claims the right to use the same justifications in the same circumstances against us.

Do you think our CIA hasn't engaged in indictable crimes over the years at the direction of the President? Really?

The precedent and pretext I'm referencing is about combining this kind of action with a demand for the natural resources of another nation. The new Colonialists. What we can't get by threat or coercion we'll take by military invasion. That's the new policy precedent set by this action.
