I gave you a predictive model, and I challenge you to prove it is incorrect. Nations do what they want irrespective of international law. If they can write it to align with what they wanted to accomplish anyway, they will. Otherwise they ignore it.

Go touch grass, brother. Life is more than models. Most things in life really aren’t that complicated. People do what they want and make up the reasons for why they did what they did as they go. It’s basic human behavior at the state level.

Since I've put in a markedly higher level of effort here, I'm only going to respond further if you carefully and thoroughly respond to my comments above.

I wouldn’t call the word soup you posted across multiple comments “high effort”. This isn’t high school English class. Higher word count doesn’t mean the information within is somehow more valuable.
