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.

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
wars against democracies
…ok
post the emoji, bart!
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
there were definitely some rules
I’d say that there is an order and it is rules based just that the rules aren’t what the rulers say they are.
the rules:
(also, conveniently, the “international” and “the order”)also somewhat
The rules-based international order does not rule nor is it based.
The smooth liberal brain is a sight to behold
PAY NO ATTENTION TO THE LASTTWOFOURSIX DECADES OF AMERICAN FOREIGN POLICY BEHIND THE CURTAINLiberals 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
Liberals and conservatives never know anything because they have nothing to build toward
Yes, and it always reminds me of this Walter Rodney quote:
And this was the problem: that bourgeois thought — and indeed socialist thought, when we get down to it — can have a variety of developments or roads and aspects or paths. Bourgeois thought, because of its whimsical nature and because of the way in which it promotes eccentrics, can have any road. Because, after all, when you are not going any place, you can choose any road!
Redsails out here with banger after banger

russia isn’t overthrowing ukraine for the purposes of territorial expansion though. Check and mate.
