all the treaties and international humanitarian laws that stipulate that it is only legal and ethical to attack valid military targets by distinguishing them and attacking them separately

Well by this then, it is time to officially make null and void those treaties and laws since the enemy is too cowardly these days to distinguish themselves with uniform or insignia. But of course, who can see them hiding behind the civilian skirts...

Thanks for this - seems we are not the only ones with too many lawyers. I did also see the word "billions" as in dollars.

You hit the crux of it.

They start by spinning the provable facts to shift the blame -- "My guy's dog bit you only because your parakeet made ugly faces at him."

In case that doesn't fly, they spin the law to exempt their client -- "My guy's not a "sovereign state," so his dog can bite anyone he wants to bite."

In case "world opinion" has a problem with that, though, they just lie -- "I don't see any injury. That's not a dog bite. Anyway, my guy's dog is a good dog, and doesn't bite. Besides that, my guy doesn't have a dog -- that was his religious advisor, and he's, like, 'peaceful,' you know."

If worse comes to worst, though, it was all your fault -- "We have a witness who saw you beg the dog to bite you. Everyone knows no dog can resist biting a fat guy, anyway, especially an ugly one. You knew my guy's dog was a nasty SOB, so you should have retreated when he attacked you in your front yard, which, incidentally, encroaches six one-hundredths of an inch into a public utility easement and makes you a far worse POS than my guy, whose mother confirms that he's never missed a day of Sunday School, even as this wicked conspiracy drug his life through the very cesspools of anti-freedom-fighting-dog bigotry."
