Well then, maybe Russia is within its rights to punch some of these strawmen so that their heads fall off?

Unilaterally claiming more territorial waters and boarding ships is cool and all. Having a Russian Navy destroyer follow one of these ships and greet the boarding party would also be kinda cool.

B-but it's different we're the "good guys" and therefore it's fine when we break international law, it's only when "they" do it that it's bad.
