when a another power adopts a position that threaten a nuclear power’s nuclear deterrence, and will not change it for reasons short of war, then there is no longer an issue of whether it is ok to invade it. it will be invaded.
International law overreaches itself it it thinks it could second guess actions to meet genuine necessities of a major power trying to preserve its existent ability to pursue independent foreign policy, just as criminal law would overreach itself it it criminalizes gravity for pulling people to their deaths.
genuine national core security interests is not legislated in courts of law. it is protected through negotiation, horse trading, and war.
we willfully closed off negotiation abs horse trading routes, so there is now war.
