   I know you are being sarcastic but I have no idea what the argument   
   would be. The U.S. never signed the League of Nations treaty, and the   
   League hardly precluded war. A country violating international   
   boundaries had been a violation for centuries, since Treaty of   
   Westphalia, I forget the year. A major violation was the Molotov Pact   
   and the extent that we recognized it at the Crimea conference to ally   
   with Stalin, who of course killed tens of millions more than Hitler did.
