So my one comment about comparing the arrest of Maduro to Bibi breaks boils down to the legitimacy of the person in power. Right now Bibi is legally in power but Maduro was internationally recognized as being illegitimate. If Maduro was a legitimate leader than I think that changes things but he wasnt

That's a fair distinction, but does it justify one country simply deciding to take the law into its own hands? The US would never stand by and let another nation forcibly remove one of its citizens from its own soil, regardless of any indictment or legal procedure.

Something that got a lot of attention and then it went away was the illegal Chinese "police stations" that were in a ton of U.S. cities. It was discovered and a huge deal was made by politicians about what those people were doing but then it disappeared.... I have no clue what ended up happening but you are right the U.S. wouldnt stand for it normally but it seems like from what I remember it did happen....

Could be wrong though.

There were lots of doubts about both the 2016 and 2020 US presidential elections. I doubt it would be considered a legitimate justification for a foreign power to raid the White House and abduct Trump or Biden for crimes committed abroad.
