The old canard of the 'rules-based order'

June 24, 2025

As always with Greg, this is an exemplar of clear and careful analysis mixed with forthright conclusions. It draws attention again to the nonsense retailed by the West of a “rules-based order” that has no written and universally shared set of rules outside that which is confected daily to be necessary to provide a cover for the continual breach of the rules that have been established by the world community through international law, by the dying Western empire.

Make no mistake, there is no relationship between the fatuous twaddle of the “rules-based order” and the reality of that international law. We are rapidly reaching a point where the 85% of humanity that do not get a say in making the rules in this “rules-based order” are openly identifying the self-interest of the West in making the rules and they are refusing to be bound by them!
