I am probably right to say that invading Venezuela would constitute a serious violation of international law. However, I am probably wrong when I say that this closer look analysis from Cloudflare feels very blurry (mostly because my technical skills regarding this article are close to zero, and I cannot clearly explain why). I have read other articles that were more precise and far less “nothing to see here” in tone.
I then find myself speculating (probably wrongly) about the intentions behind writing such an article. This has raised doubts and left me with an uncomfortable feeling, as if I were drifting toward conspiracy-theory thinking. All of this stems from reading that article.
Still, it would make sense to disrupt communications (and collect large amounts of data) prior to invading a country. Ultimately, for me, the core issue is the illegality of such actions when they are carried out by the most influential and powerful country in the world: a country that, increasingly, no one can fully trust anymore.
I am sorry for letting my emotions flow like that. It may not be the adequate spot to do so, but let me be clear: this Cloudflare article smells badly.
