    USA can put all the sanctions they want. They can not attack Venezuelan ships or blockade them as that is illegal as per international laws. Doing that is an attack on their national integrity, and thus a war declaration.

    This is just the justification phase of a new proxy war, in which the US will try to topple a government and get control over national resources.

      The invasion of Ukraine is a declaration of war and illegal.

      Sanctioning Russia and Iran because of their illegal genocide in Ukraine is legal.
