By contrast, your beloved Vattel — who nobody takes seriously, not even in his home country of France — argues that a man CAN be the prince or head of many countries at once.
So under Vattel’s “Law of Nations” Winston Churchill COULD be simultaneously Prime Minister of Great Britain and President of the United States — both at the same time.
That’s why it is so laughable that people try to prop up Vattel as if any one cares what Vattel says.
“By contrast, your beloved Vattel — who nobody takes seriously, not even in his home country of France”
Again you are wrong. Vattel was a SWISS jurist who was translated and referenced by the French. He influenced them too.
