    Well, US domestic politics isn’t international, is it?

    an informal offer can constitute a binding agreement provided one party gives up something of value in consideration of payment in goods or services.

    What did the other side receive? We’ll never know, since it wasn’t recorded, most people involved can’t remember (Gorbachev couldn’t recall any such promises) and/or are already dead.

    The Cuban Missile Crisis was resolved informally for example.

    It can be used to resolve an immediate problem. But it’s absurd to think that an unrecorded agreement whose terms nobody knows will be binding for eternity.

      Wars have been started for far less. Not like there’s a world court that’s going to rule if a claim is valid or not.

        This is not why the war was started, this is just the excuse they’re trying to justify it with. Don’t be complicit.
