"Then there'd be no point in developing treaties. It's like promising your neighbor that you won't wreck the bushes that they just planted and then turning around and wrecking them. Your word would mean zip and leave you liable for all kinds of stuff directed back at you. It's much easier to just say what you mean, mean what you say, and don't break your word."
EXACTLY!!
No treaty in the world has ever been honoured. Why? Because every treaty was signed out of fear, with fingers crossed in the back, with hope of breaking it at the first convenient time.
Just human nature. Hoping anything else is naive.
And bully and HURRAY for those who were the first to realize that it was time to break the treaty and was smart enough to take advantage of it.
