"Over the many centuries of its history, humanity has grown accustomed to viewing the use of force as the last resort for resolving differences: “Might makes right.” Yes, sometimes this principle does work. Indeed, sometimes countries have no other choice than to stand for their interests with arms in hand and using all available means." - #Putin

Let me translate that into an understandable form:
We only respect international law and international treaties if they benefit us, otherwise the law of the strongest applies and he enforces this law by force if necessary. This has always been the case since the dawn of mankind.
