Invading and kidnapping the leader of a sovreign nation sounds rather illegal to me.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sovereign

> The roles of a sovereign vary from monarch, ruler or head of state to head of municipal government or head of a chivalric order. As a result, the word sovereignty has more recently also come to mean independence or autonomy.
