      Get NATO Countries (excluding the US, obviously) to send the military to liberate El Salvador.

      Edit: Reworded for clarification

        That is not how NATO works or what it is

        Not saying we shouldn’t try to free political undesirable prisoners, just saying that that is not what NATO is for, won’t happen

          Obviously, this is not about the article 4/5 invocations. I’m talking about in a joint operation, unrelated to the NATO treaty, that are done by European Countries.

          Yes. But it would be a violation of international law, so they should not be willing.

          If the matter somehow transforms to obtaining the assistance of El Salvador in this case, a credible proposal of EU economic sanctions would hasten a compromise.

          To be honest, I’m not fully understanding why El Salvador accepted those people from the US.

          Most countries would be able to take El Salvador on in a head-on-head fight.

          Now, which ones can do so, if the US is backing the dictatorship there? That’s a big question.

      The courts might be able to stop future renditions, but the president or Congress have the power to end this or return them. Congress could cut off the funding (bribes) to El Salvador or president could force them to release people.
