> all those westerners who, not so long ago, were talking about "rules based order" pretend nothing is happening or to justify it
MAGA is a rejection of the international rules-based order. Trump joins Putin and Xi in explicitly rejecting it. To the extent anyone in America is calling for a return to that order, they're doing it while criticising Trump.
The UK, for example, stopped intelligence sharing in the Caribbean so as to not be party to war crimes.
Adding: UK just come out saying they are not involved at all https://www.bbc.com/news/articles/cy4qgvwxp08o
This feels so foreign: since Suez the UK government has been backing the US and giving them the fig leaf of international legitimacy in their actions.
They have the same respect for domestic laws as they do for international ones
MAGA at its core is a rejection of the lower classes having wealth.
