I think I agree. For anyone paying attention, the new rules have been officially established and I don't think they bode that well for previous international order. Still, I am only processing the news and I guess I will need to watch the conference now.
The international order was dead ten years ago. GWB put it on life support with Iraq 2. Obama pulled the plug when he didn’t respond to Putin in Crimea.
Hmm. You do have a point. Maybe I should have used a different word that is not as laden with previous baggage. New balance of power is likely more apt. It is still not as accurate as I would want, but it conveys similar message.
