Yes, this seems kinda silly considering just a few years later Imperial Japan, Nazi Germany and Fascist Italy started a major conquest war in Europe, Asia and Africa.
After WW2, we had Korea within 5 years, then Vietnam and Gulf War I, all wars of conquest. What ISIS is doing is a war of conquest. Israel was involved in quite a few. It doesn't really matter if the treaty allows them to keep the land legally, the only thing that can stop an invading army is another army.
Treaties and laws don't trump armies. When the rubber meets the road, might makes right, always has, always will.
- marcoperaza 9y agoExactly. "Law" is meaningless without a policeman to enforce it.

- SAI_Peregrinus 9y agoThat incident in no way discredits his point. Unenforced laws are useless, and selectively enforced laws can be worse than useless. The police failing to enforce laws when violated by other police demonstrates the need for universal enforcement of the law. The law against kidnapping would have been much more effective if the other police there had enforced it.
