See above. If you continue to think that the world should be "fair" in some sense where the rules are the same for all nations you are going to be in for a long distressed life. It has never been that way and there is no indication it ever will be.
Tell me one time in the history of Civilization where all countries played by the same rules. There is none.
International law only exists as much as powerful countries are willing to enforce it. Look at the UN. The UN exists because powerful countries formed it. It favors powerful countries. France, the UK, Russia, China, and the US have veto power in the UN Security Council. That is power and the result of power.
The UN can easily be used to push countries around but not those five. It is impossible for a US Security Council Resolution to pass against one of the five nations. It just gets vetoed.
Why do you think the US should play by the same rules as Argentina? That's absurd.
