Is it normal for law enforcement to arrest people in other countries, breaking their local laws in the process?
It's what we call kidnap.

If it really gets that bad then I expect there will be new skilled jobs, such as making guillotines and hunting billionaires.
Saturday’s offensive marked the latest cyberattack targeting Venezuelan infrastructure in recent weeks.
I wonder if that what prevented Maduro from getting into his bunker.
Also helps Russia take them all out with a few carefully placed shots, and then reduces the recovery time.
Coincidental, I'm sure. It's not like the world is getting more dangerous, with leaders ready to do whatever it takes too e.g. avoid getting kidnapped.
Nobody is going to do anything of consequence, because it's Venezuela.
The other SA countries might try to improve their defences. Greenland definitely will.
Anyone else notice that the US legal position is now that foreign presidents can be held accountable to US law, but the President of the United States can't be?
Gives licence to everyone else now. Putin must be pleased.
Captured -> Kidnapped.
I'm fairly sure it's just trolling because someone took their phones away. Make that decision as annoying as possible in the hope it gets reversed.
The countries with the best quality of life are an social democracies, with left leaning politics. The left is doing fine, that's why the narrative that every socialist country is a failed shit hole has to be pushed so hard.
It's not news, it's low quality political debate. They get a panel of guests in, usually a politician from the two main parties and one other, and a couple of journalists or businesspeople or charity workers.
The audience asks some questions related to current events, and each member of the panel gives an answer. The politicians just repeat the party talking points and focus group approved phrases. The journalists give ideological answers.
There is a strong right wing bias. The moderator is biased, the choice of guests heavily favours the right wing. In the political side they keep having the far right on, but very rarely anyone from even the moderate left. As this study shows, for journalists it's mostly the far right ones too.
Fox News is famous for ignoring stories that make Trump look bad.
The BBC isn't supposed to have a party line. This show has a moderator, but they typically do not express their own opinions. The one they have now is right leaning anyway.
The sister programme Any Questions on Radio 4 is much better. Better moderators, better guests, better questions and debate. Question Time should be better.
BYD sold a total of 4.6 million new energy vehicles in the year, a 7.7% gain on 2024. On Friday, Tesla said it sold 1.63 million vehicles in 2025, below the 1.78 million it delivered in 2024
I'm just not going to buy unless I really have to. I'll wait for the bubble to burst and the flood of used hardware to come.
