I think the major concern is that, regardless of the action the US is taking, it is almost certainly illegal. That is to say it has not been authorized by the UN Security Council or General Assembly, or anything else. If we want to live in a sane world international law has to apply equal to the weak and the powerful. Furthermore, laws provide for order and stability. If nation states would jointly develop and follow laws the world would be a much safer place. Of course, it has developed laws but those laws are unenforceable because the US and other powerful countries can flaunt them with impunity.
