‘We Do It All the Time, Who’s Gonna Stop Us?’ Boasts CNN’s Scott Jennings in Debate About U.S. Violating International Law

CNN senior political commentator Scott Jennings boasted about the U.S. government violating the national sovereignty of foreign countries on Monday, before questioning, “Who’s gonna stop us?”

During a CNN NewsNight panel discussion about President Donald Trump’s announcement of a ceasefire between Israel and Iran, and the Trump administration’s bombing of nuclear facilities in Iran, former Bush White House spokesman Pete Seat argued, “The Iranians do not speak the language of diplomacy unless force is used, and that is what President Trump and the United States used this past weekend in a precision, perfection way.”

“It’s illegal, unconstitutional,” protested 2024 independent presidential candidate Cornel West.

After Seat insisted, “It is not illegal in any way, shape, or form!” West shot back, “Of course, it is a violation of international law. You can’t violate national sovereignty of a country.”

Jennings then interrupted, “Why? We do it all the time.”

“I know because America violates international law all the time,” responded West, to which Jennings remarked, “Who’s gonna stop us?”

West replied, “You would think morality ought to play some role.”

“You think it’s immoral to stop Iran from getting a nuclear weapon? Who’s the moral actor here, Iran or the United States?” asked Jennings, as the two proceeded to talk over one another.
