''The international legal order is now in free-fall. When powerful states conduct illegal wars under the guise of prevention, weaponise diplomacy as cover, and openly pursue regime change, the “rules-based order” is literally dead.''

@GMIK69 declaring it dead is tired by now.

Maybe you can list it out "this is what they agreed with, and violating", and it looks like a decent set of rules they come up with.

But the "rules based order" is also a smokescreen. Citing rules is a way to be "objective" i guess, but it does not represent reality at all. For instance the middle east is ruled by billionaires, and that's why they go along with military bases that make this a lot easier for the US and Israel.

@GMIK69 we can also expect more wars because of this, we choose foolishly and people will suffer. I hope the same people that made the decision, but i doubt it. I mean, an obvious conclusion, i guess.
