  Also it seems that in extreme cases, formal agreements aren’t enough either. For example the USA’s pretty much unilateral cessation of many of its commitments under the Iran nuclear agreement the moment Trump took office. That one was supposed to go on for a-LOT more years.

  There has been a misunderstanding—I did not mean to say any of this at all, let alone mock.

  I would absolutely LOVE to hear about more examples of honor playing a significant role in international relations, especially conflict de-escalation! Perhaps I’m simply not familiar enough.

  It would certainly make my day to learn that this is a more common occurrence than I ever thought it could be!
