Oh sweet summer child. Power can do anything power wants unless there’s an equal or greater power compelling it to do otherwise. In fact, you can shoot down civilian aircraft [FLYING OVER OTHER COUNTRIES](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ukraine_International_Airlines_Flight_752), and if your military isn’t strong enough to tell them otherwise, tough shit.

Force is the supreme authority from which all other authority is derived.
