“So the answer to your question is simple: you take your U.S. judgment to a Belarus court and then Belarus enforces it.”
I think you meant to send that to rudeboy1, as that was his question. The answer you provided is what he was hoping to hear from someone, but not from me, not a chance.
If I were Belarus, I’d tell the US to stuff it if they showed up wanting to enforce a US court order. Ahhhh, but they signed treaties and are “bound” by them one would suspect. Belarus, with our help no less has signed all sorts of treaties and do a great job of screwing Putin over every chance they get in the oil/energy trade sector. Good for them I say.
The fact that you answered that the way you did is actually very good for most people to read. It’s a perfect example of what the US and so very many other countries have done, which is to turn its own Soverignty into a Liability, rather than capitalizing on it as an asset. More people do indeed need to be aware that signing the treaties we’ve signed has done a hell of lot more to put us at risk than they have to strengthen us as a nation IMO.
Thanks again for your comments.
I meant to send it to you. You replied and said it wasn't enforcible. It is.
More people do indeed need to be aware that signing the treaties we’ve signed has done a hell of lot more to put us at risk than they have to strengthen us as a nation IMO.
Yeah, it's really horrible when people can be assured that they can enforce their rights globally. I sure know that sometimes, I wish that scofflaws could flee one jurisdiction and evade responsbility for their actions so that I could pay higher prices for my goods and services.
Rule of Law? Consistent and assured enforcement? Pish--if only we could have higher transaction costs! Now THAT is where it's at.
