> The idea of sovereignty is a cornerstone of how we organize our global society.

It is, but it's kind of a thin lie.

How's sovereignty going for ukraine? Hong kong? Chechnya, South ossetia, and abkhazia? Puerto Rico? Western Sahara? Parts of Sudan? Border regions of bhutan? South american fisheries? People trying to set up micronations?

Ukraine is still sovereign nation. And willing to sacrifice a lot to remain one.
