"Our leader has determined and decreed, that the Constitution, domestic US law, the UN Charter, international law, and Senate ratified treaties with other nations no longer apply in our new Imperial age. The era of law is behind us now. American democracy, the post WWII rules-based order, the Four Freedoms, Pax Americana are now relics of a bygone era."

"It’s not just the performative dick-swinging that is the dangling subtext to all of Trump foreign policy that is driving this new imperative. …

"The energy secretary of the United States of america now says that United States of America will control Venezuela's oil indefinitely. After little Marco Rubio on Saturday tried to clarify Donald Trump's remarks that, oh, no, no, we won't control Venezuela, Donald Trump comes out later and says, we're going to rent it, we're going to control it."

"Yesterday, Donald Trump, in a very, I think, illegal post, openly talked about capturing Venezuela's oil and selling it at market price, and then he alone will control the money for the benefit of the United States and Venezuela."

"Trump has a childlike fascination with the great power politics that predated the current world order, and his foreign policy is broadly centering on organizing the globe into three spheres of influence — American, Russian, and Chinese — in which the leading powers largely have free rein."

“'U.S. foreign policy now is imperial, and consistently imperial,' {Nathalie Tocci, director of the Institute of International Affairs] said. 'It’s not simply pursuing an American empire in the Western Hemisphere, but Trump accepts the very notion of empire, which is why other empires can exist.'

Such a worldview allows for not only an American empire, but also Russian and Chinese ones, she said."

"When the news media say the United States’ strongarm approach to Venezuela 'raises legal questions,' that’s code for 'the president is violating the law, but no one is going to stop him.'”

"Trump’s actions were illegal under international law, unjustified by any cognizable claim of 'self-defense,' comprised an extrajudicial abduction in violation of state sovereignty rules, and violate both the U.S. Constitution and the War Powers Act."

"Donald Trump doesn’t do restraint. He doesn’t do 'one and done.' He does Lays Potato Chips; one of his favorite snacks on Air Force One. 'You can’t stop with just one.' Not one wife. Not one golf course. Not one building. Not one award. Not one raid."

"The Venezuelan coup created the type of ultraviolent spectacle that Trump revels in, but it had little rationale other than providing an advertisement for Trump’s vision of a world of unbridled imperial plunder divided into spheres of influence."

"With his domestic support flailing and his reputation threatened by new revelations of his ties to the late pedophile Jeffrey Epstein, Trump is turning to foreign policy as an arena where he can still flex his muscles. This is especially true in the Western Hemisphere, where the United States has long enjoyed a de facto sphere of influence under the dubious justification of the Monroe Doctrine."
