"One of the weaknesses of the International League is that it is still very young."
"In principle, it is an economic organization: countries surrender part of their coal and steel management rights and, using this as a constraint, form a consensus within the circle."
"It has almost no influence on countries outside the circle, such as Germany, which is in a state of war."
"Implement an embargo on coal, steel, or even supplies?"
"Germany is already in a state of embargo."
"Punish Germany?"
"Germany has not joined the International League and has not surrendered coal and steel management rights, so there can be no talk of punishment."
"Thus, Germany can completely disregard the International League."
"But for Shire, it's different."
