The US argues for a 'rules-based international order'. That is a real joke. What rules does the US want?
How about the 2003 'shock and awe' invasion and long occupation of Iraq that was clearly a violation of international law? Or maybe the 2011 US effort (still underway) to overthrow the elected government in Syria.
Or how about the 2008 US orchestrated coup in Ukraine? Or the attempted recent coup in Venezuela? Then there is Libya and the US-NATO destruction of Yugoslavia. Vietnam, Afghanistan....one could go on for days making such a list.
It is clear that China and Russia are over it - they are not going to let Washington's 'exceptional hypocrisy' go by without responding.
It's about time....

ReplyDeleteThx Leo - we got to stick together as the ruling elites try to pit us one against the other. The oligarchs are stealing us all blind and we must keep our eyes on the real prize
