You have made yourself crystal-clear now.
The Crusades were justified to reclaim land, but if a country tells another they will be exterminated unless they agree to sign a treaty, the signing of that treaty is legal.
Imagine if that logic was applied to all legal proceedings.
A man rapes a woman but afterwards gets her to sign a legal document saying that she cannot prosecute him while holding a gun to her head. Hey, it would be a legal document. Of course it would not hold up in court, but if a country does it, it must be honored.
Why should something be sacred if it potentially hurts millions but be a useless piece of paper if it affects one person?
A treaty signed under duress should be treated the same as anything signed under duress.
“You have made yourself crystal-clear now.”
It have always been crystal clear.
“The Crusades were justified to reclaim land, but if a country tells another they will be exterminated unless they agree to sign a treaty, the signing of that treaty is legal.”
The crusades were justified because Muslim conquest of peaceful Christians was not justified.
“Imagine if that logic was applied to all legal proceedings.”
It is - but only as I have said it and not as you consistently caricature it.
“A man rapes a woman but afterwards gets her to sign a legal document saying that she cannot prosecute him while holding a gun to her head. Hey, it would be a legal document. Of course it would not hold up in court, but if a country does it, it must be honored.”
And you’re wrong as always - and hypocritical. Do you live in the U.S.? How can you stand knowing you live on “stolen” land?
“Why should something be sacred if it potentially hurts millions but be a useless piece of paper if it affects one person?”
Why should you ask questions that don’t even make sense?
“A treaty signed under duress should be treated the same as anything signed under duress.”
Okay, so did the Germans and Japanese sign treaties under duress to end World War II or in complete freedom? Do you even think about what you post before you post it?
