The problem with this is that Rage (who got dealbroken the original time) and Strippers (who got ****played now) are not in the same situation. There's no moral absolute right or wrong in this case; it's not as clear cut as murder. People normally have the right to freedom (not to be imprisoned) but then when they break the law they go to jail and they don't have the same rights they did before. In this case, since Strippers scummed and dealbroke Rage earlier this age (and got 2 WW's out of it), they don't have the same "rights" that other kingdoms do. 
So yes, if Mansoor did this to anyone else, there would probably be a problem. But that's because dealings with Strippers don't require the same moral threshold as do dealings with other kingdoms. They lowered the bar for the way they could anticipate to be treated when they dealbroke. That's how it goes. You treat others unfairly; later, you get treated unfairly and there's not much you can say about it.
If anything, I would say that SWEA is acting poorly towards PewPew more than anyone else in this situation. Arguably, they are stealing acres that Pew^2 would rightfully otherwise obtain through war.
