Yes. But a country can act in a way it knows and admits to be unethical.

I read your original post as assuming that a country would decide what is ethical and act that way. Or would claim that because it acted a certain way that was ethical.

I don't think either of those are true. I think a country can perfectly well say "we know this is unethical, but it's necessary to our survival, so we're going to do it." I admit that not many countries would say that publicly, but I think that's clearly what they sometimes do and know they are doing.
