Lots of governments were created via a revolution.

Or are you forgetting?

Who are you to decide which ones are legitimate or not?

The government is legitimate when their representatives are recognized for the purposes of negotiation.

What goes on on the other side of the fence is the other guy’s problem.

We are throwing our weight around, because we can. And we’ll go along, thinking that we are immune to penalty, right up until somebody kicks us in the balls.

Out there doing it best I can.
