There has never been a “rules based international order”. That’s nothing but noise and spin spread by the US PR machine and the vassals.

What we have had is: the US systematically undermining international law and in fact ignoring human rights law, refusing to subject itself to the international human rights norms and conventions, and increasingly sponsoring terrorists and murderous militia and even official death squads everywhere, from Guatemala to El Salvador, Iraq, Syria, Libya, Afghanistan, Ukraine and yes in Israel too.

In short what we have had, probably since the 1950s as overt colonialism ended, and accelerating in the past 30-40 years as the Euro-colonial nations see that they are losing grip over the neo-colonial order, is: a debased order of international dis-rule. Dis-order.

What is going on in Georgia is a perfect example. The US has been massively violating the sprit and principles of international law by secretly interfering in the internal affairs of Georgia, where US secret services literally create astroturfed opposition and stir disorder through disruptive “protests” and riots. When the Georgians put in a rule…..exactly like the rule the US itself has….mandating that foreigners cannot secretly sponsor such activities….the US calls this authoritarianism…..while simultaneously inside the US….attempting to falsely imprison the Uhuru 3 on claims of being “foreign agents”..for merely advocating for minority rights inside the US:

It’s all intentional and all aimed at creating chaos abroad.

Which is no surprise. If you look at the underlying US foreign policy doctrine, the entire point is “full spectrum dominance” by the US….over the entire planet! Meaning that the US must be the dominant political and military actor,, and the actual countries of the region should be weak and in disarray and short of resources. Which is itself completely counter to the principles of international law and the spirit of the UN charter.

But there is clearly no “rules” based order, unless by that is meant US-led Euro-colonial disorder. Which is the only order in which the genocidal massacres going on in Palestine and Lebanon, or the US threats against the ICJ and US lies about ICJ jurisdiction can be considered in order.

the so called rule based international order is a fig leave for not following international law as enshrined in the UN Charter. It has no legitimacy. The actual hebavior of the group of vassal states that subscribe to it are followers of mafia law.
