"Everyone here knows the US has the power to renegotiate anything they care to renegotiate,"

Yep, we can bully any country they like, we can invade Nigeria if Nigeria does not want to renegotiate. Which they don't. The problem is that the US can only afford so many IRAQs per decade. I don't think the US is willing to commit to another 350 BILLION dollar expedition in Nigeria. With North Korea getting ready to fire long range missiles and Iran making Nukes, how many more "forced renegotiations" do you think the US can afford? EHRC has international partners, including China. We need China to cooperate on North Korea and Iran. You think we can just give them all the finger and abrogate their agreements? The idea that we can run rough shod over the rest of the world is true up to a point, but we are already very close to that point. Your kind of thinking could hasten the decline of the west. Don't think it will, because too many people realize we have stretched our millitary and political resources close to the limmit.
