> I'm pretty sure such action would be illegal under UN rules, ie: you can't invade a country because they don't give you back your posession.
So?
Since when would that make a difference to anyone?
The concept of UN "laws" or "illegal" just makes me laugh. The UN has treaties - countries agreeing to limits on their own behavior. The UN is not a government, and does not enforce any law.
So yes, you can just invade a country because they don't give you back your possession. Other countries might get mad at you, but the UN is quite irrelevant.
