Well, in this case, yes. This is the trouble with growing executive power, they can indeed give themselves permission.

They don't have jurisdiction over another country that's not how this works
I would love to live in a world where every government was democratically elected by an informed populace and never tried to assert authority outside it's borders.
> not how this works
When you say this, what exactly are you referring to?
Reality is reality. There is only one reality and the man is on the ship. No matter what you think. Reality is "how this works".
Just because something is happening doesn't mean it's according to the law or even morally justified. We are discussing whether it is lawful, not whether it actually happened or whether they are capable of doing it with or without consequences.
Indeed, why bother having states of law at all? Jungle law works well enough in reality.
