Iran launched a missile attack Monday on a U.S. military base in Qatar, retaliating for the American bombing of its nuclear sites. The announcement was made on state television as martial music played. A caption on screen called it “a mighty and successful response by the armed forces of Iran to America’s aggression.”
International “law” is a misnomer, as you’ve noticed… it’s only enforceable at the end of a pointy stick, physical or economic. “Conventions” are a more appropriate phrase. This is indeed disappointing.
sorry, you aren’t wrong,
it’s just lately we’ve seen that actual rules are meaningless.
if countries followed international laws, Israel would be as sanctioned as North Korea, and they would be zero weapons sold to them.
so I’m not expecting actual international laws and treaties to have any effect here.
