I guess it depends by which sides you belong to. The winner? So Yes for sure. The looser? Well ...

Btw there is nothing new here: In the 400 B.C. the Celtic Chief Brenno was cought by the defeated Romans manipulating the scale weighting the gold they agreed to pay to the Barbarians as reparations; Brenno replied "Vae victis" (Woe to the vanquished) and dropped on the scale his sword so to increase the already set quantity of gold the Romans had to pay.
