It’s genuinely wild that the United States spent decades building an elaborate rules-based international order which de facto cemented its permanent status as the dominant global hegemon, sustained by ideology rather than might, and now is just blowing it all up for literally no reason

There is something depressing about that rhetoric: You’d think people could get sufficiently outraged by the deprivation of basic rights without needing to imagine themselves personally at risk. It’s like we’ve decided appealing to morality is pointless; it’s got to be pitched as self-interest.
