>>If you can put a payload in orbit, it can come out of orbit. Pick the time and inclination and you have a target anywhere in the world (unless your orbit is perfectly equatorial). Physics.
Rocket scientists say only China and Russia can do it to you. No amount of classroom physics trumps that.

"... They ne'er cared for us
yet: suffer us to famish, and their store-houses
crammed with grain; make edicts for usury, to
support usurers; repeal daily any wholesome act
established against the rich, and provide more
piercing statutes daily, to chain up and restrain
the poor. If the wars eat us not up, they will; and
there's all the love they bear us."
-- Shakespeare: Coriolanus, Act 1, scene 1
