Imagine that two psychopaths, representing two nations, meet to make a treaty. Neither man has ever told the truth in his life. In fact, they do not understand what regular people mean by "truth."
By psycho standards, whether a sentence is true or false depends on what they fancy at a given moment. (For the rest of us, a sentence is true if it can be validated by evidence etc.)
I don't see how two psychopaths can agree on meaningful sentences. The meanings will shift too rapidly. A treaty they sign will mean everything and nothing.
