    … What makes you think the US in its current state gives a single fuck about any convention, much less one named after the capital of another country? They’re exploring ways to circumvent their own constitution so they could send dissidents to CECOT for “terrorism” even if they’re citizens.

      Mutually assured destruction.

      The Vienna Convention is what the US uses constantly to keep their people insulated. Which is why there’s a nice diplomatic line at Dulles, and no CBP officer would mess with a diplomatic passport holder from any county.

      But hey, anything’s possible anymore.
