Imagine if any other country carried out a similar stunt against a country under the US control... let it sink in.
The US and its stooges already create stories, hype it and then punish those it accuses of such stories like: Russia in Ukraine, Russian meddling in US elections, Russia poisoning an ex spy in UK, Iran in Yemen, Iran in Iraq... The world only respects the strong, no respect for the international law, laws are made for the weak to abide by and be punished by either way.
