    Isn’t espionage generally a violation of international law? Like extra-judicial killing violates the sovereignty of the host nation? I guess I have been thinking this whole time that sort of stuff was 1,000% illegal, but everyone operated on a “don’t get caught” understanding.

      No, espionage is not a violation of international law, but most (all?) nations make it a crime within their own territory.
