    How would that work? Wouldn’t that be an act of war unprovoked aggression per the UN charter?

      No no, don’t you know that we don’t do “war” any more? We do “operations” now. War is totally different. Then we have to obey Geneva conventions and all sorts of other hairy stuff. Our politicians have decided as long as we don’t call it “war” then we’re fine.

      Yeah, it would be.

      It’s geopolitical dick wagging, not a law that was actually needed or does anything.
