  Name one international treaty that has ever had teeth where the benefits of non-conformance out weight the teeth. Country B could tarrif country A in return and some countries cannot afford the cost of what that may do to them. So you end up with an international treaty without international conformance or a treaty with no real teeth because the signee's have contributed to it what would allow "them" to game the treaty.

        And funnily enough, it's still lower than it would have been without the treaty. It's almost as if compliance doesn't have to be perfect to be effective, fancy that.
