Laws are based on ethics. They can lag a bit, which is very relevant in new fields like Bitcoin, but not when it comes to war.
You have no expertise in this area, as demonstrated by the fact that you didn't even know this treaty (which is more or less still in force). You probably never even read any serious books on the topic.
There's just no reason for me to take you seriously over mainstream thought here. You can't be a credible contrarian on all things. Rolling your own ethical framework for something as ancient and complex as war is ridiculous.
Regarding personal accusations: I live in a NATO country, which means I get drafted if this conflict escalates. Are volunteering for the Ukrainian army? I also pay taxes that go this war effort. I'm not in the habit of virtue signaling support for this or that cause.
