Contracts deserve respect.
International laws — not so much.
“Contracts deserve respect.”
Yet Russia does not respect them with impunity and the support of many of the people posting on FR.
“International laws — not so much.”
Without “International law” there would be no enforceable international contracts. Without “International law” Russia would have no right to exist and no right to territorial integrity of its own.
He who denies international law is authoritative is an outlaw deserving no more protection from honest and law-abiding citizens than any brigand or pirate who under international law are the enemies of all mankind.
