Just adding more and more clauses until maybe arguably the US (only its clandestine services and a few dozen of its proxies) didn’t brake the “rule” with no consequence since this is just a fiction to mask pure power projection.

I wonder how many liberals saw the Baron Munchausen movie and nodded along to the “logical war” city official.

The rules based order started after America already conquered all of its territory, of course.
If I were to point to an exact year, it would be after Israel’s last territorial expansion

Wikipedia categorises the war in “List of wars between democracies”.
love me some of that ideology
the list is hilarious btw, “The Continuation War” counts because even though the USSR was a horrible dick-tater-ship the allies and good pure democracies of Great Britain and their colonial subjects of New Zealand and Australia declared war on Finland too
haven’t you read the fine print of the imperialism contract?!
rational adult-in-the-room liberals when I make sweeping categorical claims and am upfront about my interests instead of injecting nuance in the form of arcane social bylaws I conjured up that are conveniently molded to justify my pre-existing opinion
the vibes-based order is real
You always post the quippy comment I was going to post before me because I was eeping. I’d be mad but I’m also v v eepy need go breb n
wars against democracies
…ok
post the emoji, bart!
there were definitely some rules
The rules-based international order does not rule nor is it based.
The smooth liberal brain is a sight to behold

Liberals and conservatives never know anything because they have nothing to build toward, no feedback or consequences
This is why even fascists have better historical analysis than libs, they have a fundamental drive to actually do something and suffer when they do something stupid and get caught. They at minimum want to create a dramatic way for themselves and their society to die. Liberals fundamentally want nothing.
Lib loses an election, they cry but it doesn’t actually affect them.
This is why trans people tend to land much closer to the truth, constantly pushing against patriarchal violence and cishets, esp white libs, never know anything about anything, nothing they do ever actually matters, the state and the culture does all the dirty work and violence for them, they never realize it’s even happening
These people are playing dolls and make believe in Ukraine, just pure bliss and vibes, no sense of tragedy or regret of watching the people of the beautiful Ukrainian Soviet Republic looted and torn to shreds for capital
All vibes and posturing like they’re on stage playing make-believe all the way down
russia isn’t overthrowing ukraine for the purposes of territorial expansion though. Check and mate.
COALITION WARSHIP ARCHER - “You must understand, when we speak of contingency spreads, we are talking about the most fantastically complex data visualisations human beings are capable of producing, with thousands of events – from elections and wars to natural disasters or scientific miracles – and millions of possible outcomes.”
COALITION WARSHIP ARCHER - “It may be the case that, under certain scenarios, Revachol is vitally important, as it was during the Coalition landings in '08. It may also be the case in many other equally plausible scenarios that Revachol is simply another once-great city, like countless others throughout history.”
REACTION SPEED - Did she… just admit that the Coalition invading Revachol was one of those ‘contingencies’?
YOU - “Are you saying the Coalition invasion was one of these ‘contingencies’?”
COALITION WARSHIP ARCHER - “No – well, not quite. The Moralintern never intends to violate another nation’s sovereignty. That would be a serious violation of international law…”
