      The hilarious part is that the rule of law doesn’t apply to most high level “intelligence” and “national security” operations, and even if moves are made to apply it they just pass a new bill to make the historic crimes retroactively legal, so all of this is just showboating and won’t actually prevent superpowers from doing it anyway — there have never been any consequences remotely adequate to fit the crimes.
