Name one international treaty that has ever had teeth where the benefits of non-conformance out weight the teeth.

Country B could tarrif country A in return and some countries cannot afford the cost of what that may do to them.

So you end up with an international treaty without international conformance or a treaty with no real teeth because the signee's have contributed to it what would allow "them" to game the treaty.

thysultan··on When Bitcoin miners take over a town (2018)
But you can't enforce your taxes in other governments.

In fact other governments in a game theory like ploy to get ahead of your country may agree to international agreements that they know they can game to their advantage.

The fundamental assumptions are wrong. You're not in this together. All countries are in direct competition, and some a more cut-throat than others. If potential disaster B is coming irregardless, country B can position themselves to come-out on top of country A when it does.
