Yep. But a lot of people do things they aren’t supposed to do. Iran wasn’t supposed to develop nuclear weapons. Israel wasn’t supposed to commit war crimes. Hamas wasn’t supposed to rape people.
Unfortunately, “you’re not supposed to do that” doesn’t have very much bearing on autonomous or semi-autonomous states and entities.
