I agree with the statement - no love for the global order - but then the statement - but at least it was a form of order was the reason Mr Trump was elected. The people said they wanted no more of the USA's version of Global Order and threw the incumbents out. The outcome of this will be chaos. Will Mr Trump survive?
I wish I could act like this is just Trump, but it isn't, it's the whole West, including Europe. This image illustrates the double standard quite nicely:
The EU always had rhetorical restraint toward the United States for military action in Africa and the middle east, decades worths of hesitation and diluted measures in response to Israel’s conduct in Palestinian territories, and complete absence of any pressure on strategic partners like Saudi Arabia or Turkey, and more recently the UAE despite persistently breaking international law.
For them it all depends on the actor’s alliance value, laws are just a language of convenience, invoked against adversaries, softened for friends, and quietly suspended when enforcement would carry a heavyy economic cost.
@ViciDraco Oh rule of law was gone the moment Trump got back in. Nothing will contain this administration outside of direct use of power. There are no rules.
Which y'know has consequences. The further they go the more likely folks like Rubio and Hegseth are not going to see old age.
You're doing him Saddam Hussein style! USA, today it's all about YOU! Look at what you empower. No talking with USA about anything, especially peace. No more. You're yi! USA is USA. No talking to it.
