It's indeed pathetic to see the naked power the US has over too many sovereign nations which claim to be democratic and respect the rule of law. If there was any doubt that this a fiction... that's been dispelled by this event.

But this event takes the turnip.
The shadow is a moral problem that challenges the whole ego-personality, for no one can become conscious of the shadow without considerable moral effort. To become conscious of it involves recognizing the dark aspects of the personality as present and real. This act is the essential condition for any kind of self-knowledge.
