are you going to stop us?

So you object to our spying on you from space do you? Well who are you going to tell? The UN? What about our little unmanned planes then? Flying at 20km above the ground, how would you know we have invaded your air space? Pal, when you are the hegemon, you too can do what you like, but as for now, WE are the hegemon and we are going to enjoy it while it lasts. International Law, niceties, conventions, respect, - none of that bothers us. But make no mistake, if you try to shoot down our planes, if you try to build nukes, we'll fire first. Pre-emptive strike - know what I mean?
So how would you feel if I set up a telescope on my roof and perved on you in the toilet or bathroom or bedroom?
Oh yair, but that's different. That's not in the National Interest.
It's the same principle. I would be a deviant and a pervert and I should rightly be run out of town and locked up in gaol.
So go on then, try to run us out of town and lock us in gaol. Pal, we don't even support those International Law schemes so you are not even going to get us in Court.
