      And china, russia, and the US break them constantly. We’ve been at a point of no respect for global rules-based order for a long time now.

        Ha.

        Unlike international law, the “rules-based order” doesn’t even exist. It’s a thing the US made up. It’s just a euphemism for doing what the US tells you. The US makes up the rules and expects countries to follow them. Why the hell should China or Russia play the US’ game of Calvinball?

        Westerners always assume that, just because they break international law constantly, their enemies must as well.

          Not really. The leaders of countries defile them constantly and nobody is every truly punished.
