As stupid as it is, legally this isn’t much different than the US arresting El Chapo in Mexico and bringing him back to the US.
Might is right. There is no moral high ground here for the US. They invade yet another country and do whatever they want because they have the strongest military in the world. There really is no difference between this and Russia invading Ukraine. US make up a reason and just invade when they like.
