      I’m afraid we no longer live in a world where it matters. It’s good to have rules, but for some reason might is right has become the new standard.

          I’m no expert, but it seemed like we had more of a rules-based order before. But not everywhere of course, sone countries still projected power outside international law. But international law requires a consensus by a majority. Idk, maybe the only difference is that the US is now threatening us too, and not just the ones they always threatened.
