There is no distinction in law between the USA attacking Caracas and Russia attacking Kiev but there's a big distinction between those two things and a putative Chinese attack on Taiwan. That would not be illegal. Taiwan is part of China.
There is no distinction in law between the USA invading Panama and Russia invading Ukraine.
Interestingly General Noriega of Panama was the last man to declare war on the USA, something he no doubt enjoyed.
Before him the last man was Admiral Horthy, Regent of Hungary.
I don't suppose the King of Denmark will declare war on the USA if the Americans invade his realm. It would not do Denmark any good.
Denmark leaving Nato would be magnificent but it would make an invasion inevitable.
And Trump doesn't give a fig about Nato anyway.
I have no idea if any woman has ever declared war on the USA. Queen Victoria did not but it was a possibility in 1895, over Venezuela as it happens. What a small world it is.
There won’t be a NATO left to leave if the USA invades Greenland
ReplyDeleteAll the fuss we made about Russia and China and all the time it was the US and Israel that were the danger to our values way of life.
It is my humble view that arrogance post empire blinded the UK to reality and its real position. All the special relationship talk was so cringy such nonsense. Unfortunately too many insisted on those ideas and probably really believed them.
