does everyone who gets photographed by a satellite get an "absolute right" to destroy the satellite then? Bit of a slippery glidy no-fun slope

> Russia is trying to determine if the US is useing these particular satelites for real time targeting and weapons direction on Russians, in Russia, which if true,then makes it there absolute right to destroy the sattelite weapons systems, and legaly target there operators, wherever they might be.

Would that actually be true? How does delayed vs realtime change if they are legitimate targets?
