I mean ya kinda do.
That’s how it’s always worked, that’s how it still works, and that’s how it will probably continue to work probably indefinitely, or at least from time to time, more or less so during different periods over time.
The only issue is that there will invariably be consequences, but the leaders of nations are, to varying degrees, immune to a lot of that, themselves personally.
