Only when forgetting that the US was extremely naive towards Stalin after-WW2, breaking promises and taking over eastern europe. This now classical approach where the US is some ab…

My understanding after reading the west point article is that Israel is only bound to the effect of an armed conflict between nations, not against Hezbollah as that is an Annex the…

I am rereading what you said and I don't see how it either applied to a non signatory nation or proclaims this is illegal, only that it may relate to that clause Also I fail to und…

I read the site you linked and it was very interesting I didn't see it was very definite in its conclusion that this was illegal. In any case they mentioned that this only may be i…
