Sovereignty means that you have a monopoly on using force within your borders. When you infringe on the interests of foreigners, the foreign sovereign might have objections, and I don&#x27;t understand how this fact is inconsistent with your sovereignty.<p>Whether your infringement upon the foreigners&#x27; interest is good or bad is an entirely separate question, all I&#x27;m saying is that sovereignty does not grant you the ability to automatically get away with it and I don&#x27;t understand why this word became so fashionable in this context recently (a similar example is defaulting on sovereign debt.)
