I know this isn't the time or place, but international law doesn't exist.

Well, it does but only by the consent of the participant and participants can withdraw their consent at any time, arbitrarily.

It's like how international treaties become worthless the second one party decides they don't want to abide by them anymore.

So, any time someone mentions "international law" I kinda just smirk a little bit and make the "jerking off and then ejaculating" motion with my hand.

The actual smallest country on earth, Tuvalu, can tell the UN to eat a bag of dicks and ignore every single plea to obey "international law" and the only remedy is embargo, begging, or the cruise missile.
