Comicomment: No country has the right to act as the world's police

The US’s bold military operation against Venezuela sets a dangerous precedent: powerful states can unilaterally impose their will on others, reducing the international order to a struggle of force.

The right to uphold justice across borders lies with multilateral institutions, not unilateral coercion.
