I cannot stand Liberals, I have been told now that it is the Sovereign right of nations to unilateraly pull out of any treaty they want without consequence, That China Mediating a treaty is worse than the US dictating the terms of a treaty they are not a part of, and that I am acting in bad faith and have my facts wrong for saying that Russia, a signatory to both Minsk Agreements, is a party to the Minsk agreements.
I mean I kinda expected the china thing, I could even if I squint a little have seen the Russia thing coming, but REALLY I cannot belive I have to explain that a nation cannot just leave treaties willy nilly
I have to disagree somewhat with the right to pull out of treaties (and terminate contracts). It depends entirely on what the treaty/contract involves and who the other participants are. I would consider it completely reasonable to terminate any deal with Amerika or any other imperialist country without any kind of compensation, especially debt, and especially if the deal was initiated by a pre-revolutionary government
I will be honest I didn’t even think about pre to post revolutionary governments originally, I guess my original statement was in error
not necessarily in error, just a bit oversimplified; a revolution can be seen as dissolving a “nation” (depending on definition) and creating a new one, in which case treaties would logically have to be renegotiated since one of the parties no longer exists
