I just don't understand the difference between going out and taking a boat or taking, say, a plane. Like, could we send special forces to an airport in Brazil and have them fly out with a dozen Boeing jets and it's not an act of theft or war? Something like that would be legal? Or do boats sit in a weird conceptual space?
I genuinely don't understand and am not intending to sound like I'm taking a side here. I'm not intentionally doing the noncentral fallacy. I just want to understand the difference between this and stealing the crown jewels.
