The political term is auto-coup.

A government in power overthrowing the system that got them to power to hold on to their position.

How come?

D so I can still dip my timtams in vegemite

Ships in intl waters are still governed by the laws of their flag state. I don’t see why this wouldn’t also apply to the ISS as a US-flagged vessel

Edit: I assume the modules are flagged differently. I imagine Zvezda and the Soyuz’s are flagged Russian, etc. or maybe the ISS is jointly flagged under US and Russian laws at the same time. Or the laws of the citizens home country is applied individually or something.

Someone please delete .cx

At this point, it would be rude not to!
