💨 Abstract

On January 3, the U.S. captured Venezuelan President Nicolás Maduro and his wife, escalating tensions similar to the 1989 U.S. invasion of Panama. Both interventions, despite international condemnation, aimed to remove unfriendly regimes by framing leaders as criminals, blurring the lines between war and law enforcement. This approach weakens the targeted country's sovereignty and legitimizes coercive actions, reflecting a pattern in U.S.
