"U.S. Secretary of State Pompeo says China's detention of 2 Canadians is 'unlawful'"
But it's lawful, is it, to just wilfully rip up a major legal document, an international treaty, almost universally supported by the world’s governments, and then to begin hurling sanctions, threats, and extradition demands all over the planet at anyone who does not agree with your ripping it up?
Essentially, Pompeo and the other Neocon-types in Trump's ugly administration, claim in all they do and say that something is lawful if the United States wants it, and not otherwise.
I do believe that's a good working definition of tyranny.
