International law is really not much more than contracts between countries (treaties) and tradition (customary law). When you buck customary international law unilaterally (meaning you don’t have a treaty), you end up opening Pandora’s box.

I’ve no love for “our friends the Saudis” but this is playing with fire. And I’m not talking about just lighting matches and seeing how long you can hold it before blowing it out - I mean this is juggling lit torches while standing in a pool of gasoline next to a propane tank.
