Trump seems to believe he makes the rules and others cannot have the same privileges.
Russia and Iran broadly condemned the U.S. attack on Venezuela, while other world leaders called for de-escalation and said they are monitoring the situation.
Trump allies point to the capture of Panama’s Noriega in 1990 as a precedent. But Venezuela could turn out to be much more difficult.
Will Russia and China now assume they can do the same in Europe and Asia?
