Theoretically if you started lasering these down somehow from international waters... uh, what would happen? Hypothetically?
Depends on what flag the boat is flying and what port it left and returned too after.
It's a ship flagged from the Holy Imperial Nation of Ocean-Sea. It's a floating, autonomous nation-state in the middle of the ocean that harvest food from the sea and desalinates drinking water from the same. Their national history states they haven't touched land in 2000 years. Also they have lasers and can launch predator satellites. It's a very fascinating country.
Vatican. Sri Lanka. Hawaii.
The government of whatever country owns those satellites would have an issue with that, regardless of what the law says.
If you did it to satellites belonging to a US company, providing a service used by the US military...
Let's just say they can deliver explosives to any point on the globe in 30 minutes.
So laser them from the moon. Got it, thanks!
