International Law DOES NOT KNOW a "Rules Based International Order" | Professor Glenn Diesen (2/2)
International Law
Professor Glenn Diesen
Rules Based International Order
Interesting and accurate presentation. US myth of rules based order is nothing more than a catch cry for " do it my way"
More precisely:
Do as I say, not as I do.
- USA
Democratic countries all over the world also spend billions on consultants like Mckinsey. Their focus is always economic growth...not human growth (education/health etc). A norwegian journalist studied the consequences of sone of their advices (hospitals/trains Norway)...he was NOT impressed.
Ha,ha,ha! Oh! Yesss,almost "Do as I tell you"🤨🤠😠
Rules based orders. Two models: (1) Parents: They write the rules and the child obeys OR ELSE. Ditto schools: They write the rules icluding assignmentsand tests and the student obeys OR ELSE. Meanwhile, the rest of the analogy holds: There are the laws of the political society which don't prohibit nearly so many things and offer the powerless person more rights. In prep school I was subjected to 2 Inquisitorial Proceedings and I did not have 5th Amenndment rights. Parents, teachers and the Biden administration: 3 Bullies.
Christianity is about God conspiring a conspiracy to save you by having a son with another man's virgin wife and crucifying him. In fact, Christianity is accusing Judaic GOD of having an affair with or even raping another man's virgin wife.
Solomon Islands, a sovereign archipelago in the Pacific Ocean, has signed a security agreement with China. This agreement allows Chinese ships to call at ports on the islands, and Chinese security forces (at the request of local authorities) can provide support to maintain law and order. And, above all, in the protection of the local Chinese diaspora.
However, this completely legitimate and logical agreement provoked a firestorm of discontent from the United States and its main regional ally, Australia. In Washington, Canberra (as well as in Tokyo, Wellington, London) they began to say that this agreement is only a prologue and a pretext for the deployment of a full-fledged Chinese military base in the Solomon Islands.
The base, to which China and, consequently, the islands themselves supposedly have no rights, since the West perceives this deployment as a direct threat.
"There will not be a Chinese naval base in our region, on our doorstep," said Australian Prime Minister Scott Morrison.
The question immediately arises: what exactly does Australia have in mind as "our doorstep"? What specific distance is so sensitive for Australia -and therefore for the West in general- that the deployment of Chinese troops in that part of the planet is perceived as a danger?
From the Solomon Islands to the Australian coast there are almost 1,500 kilometers, that is, almost the same from the Russian borders to Munich or Egypt.
Let's imagine for a second that Vladimir Putin says that there should be no military bases of foreign states on the territory of Germany. That the eastern part of the Mediterranean must be cleared of the presence of forces hostile to Russia. How would Western countries react to this? When Vladimir Putin politely asked the Americans and Europeans not to deploy troops on the Russian threshold (and in the understanding of the Russian Federation, the "threshold" is directly the land borders), that is , in Georgia, Ukraine, and also reject military cooperation with Central Asian countries altogether, these requests were defiantly rejected. Supposedly, they violate the sovereignty of the countries of the post-Soviet space.
Meanwhile, we are talking about the deployment of US troops not fifteen hundred, but zero kilometers from the Russian borders. Or, to be more precise, 450 kilometers from the Kremlin Palace.
And what about the Solomon Islands? Australian Prime Minister Scott Morrison also explicitly calls the deployment of a Chinese base on the islands a "red line."
"Of course, we respect the sovereignty of the Solomon Islands, but we also want you to understand that if steps are taken to establish a de facto permanent military presence, the possibility of force projection or [China's] military bases, then we will be very serious. We are concerned and will naturally take action in response,” said Daniel Kritenbrink, Under Secretary of State for East Asian and Pacific Affairs, who recently visited the Solomon Islands.
The United States at least does not deny the option of occupying the islands to prevent the appearance of a Chinese naval base there.
There is no doubt that this occupation in the West will not provoke any sanctions or even condemnation.
The situation around the Solomon Islands shows once again how flawed is the American vision of the current world order that is not based on law, but on rules. Rules, the main of which is the principle "what the United States is allowed, no one else is allowed."
An atom bomb should be dropped on the White House.
CIA funded the opposition in Solomon and cause massive unrest and riots. Solomon ask Australia for help and Australia intentionally did nothing. that's when Solomon knows they can't side with Anglosaxon anymore and ask China for help. it is silly to talk about Solomon like it started because of China agreement. the China agreement only come into existence because US and Australia was actively undermining the current government.
Not quite a vision. It is the blueprint of tyranny. It has no intention of keeping any laws, even the so-called amorphous rule-based order. RBO is international banditry and lawlessness so long as you kowtow to Washington. If you are in their ever-changing friend list, you can kill as many of the opposition as you wish. They will not only look the other way, they will supply you the arms to do the killing. RBO is a criminal concept.
Excellent comment @almazblanco6676
@@gerrycoogan6544 Australians will always side with Washington to uphold White Supremacy around the world.
Asa person of Norwegian desent, I amdisgusted by the way Norway conducts itself. I remember Thor Heyerdahl describing how the Germans left many mines in Northern Norway as the withdrew. Russia sent troops in and cleared the mines. Heyerdahl said the Norwegians would be forever grateful. 'Forever' doesn't seem to be as long as it used to be.
Thank you, Glenn. Hearing your voice in such turbulent times is always illuminating.
Dr. Glenn Diesen is a towering intellect and I thank you for the opportunity to expose myself to a worldview that is based in reality and is human-centric because his analysis posits a world where humanity is preferenced over naked power.
Yes, I "discovered" Mr. Diesen (Dr.) on TH-cam a few months back and now I listen to him every chance I get
This is Remarkable and way over due!!! This is thee threat to humanity that’s been too often ignored. Blocks and alliances of war. Sanctions and imperial languishes and racism international. Dollars and security bonds of debt traps from the west. This needs to be shared worldwide!! Great subject guys!!😂😂
Thanks for the support!!
Even you inspired as you claim are 70 years too late. Sharing to who, where is this audience you believe in. Covid shows you, shows us who would have been go along nazis in 1930's Germany. I think a huge shock - may - waken the 'lumpen' ...but the demons, infesting all elites only have more control in advanced planning - like covid and cbdc - and or gotterdamerung, whilst the young and bourgeois think little greta, climate and trans etc are credible along with Putin bad.
,This is the best discussion on the rules based order I have yet heard. Thank you!
Thank you
Professor Glenn Diesen!
Kissinger said it the best, “to be an enemy of the US is dangerous, to be a friend is fatal.”
Great analysis from Dr. Glenn Diesen, a Norwegian! (I thought Norwegians are all Jens Stoltenberg. ) Dr. Glenn Diesen is totally correct on ChinaRussia>US relationships. I was giving up hope seeing so few Europeans able to dissect the muddle EU is in, so few Europeans willing to open their eyes and see and to speak out.
Imagine how much better off the world would be with him in charge of NATO instead of Stoltenberg
@@dwl3006 Agree! But I think he will NOT want to be involved with NATO. He will prefer to dismantle that offensive organisation.
@@chew5461 I don't think it needs to be dismantled, they just need to stop expanding, and needs new leadership that understands what defense actually means.
Great to see Norway does have independent minds, not just producing some one like Stoltenburg, who keeps on drumming up Chinese threat while quietly sending his son to receive all the education in China. Norwegian are not all willing to do dirty jobs for American as Sy Hershey described.
There's plenty of people in Europe with their eyes open, unfortunately it's the political class that are driving the citizens of Europe down a path they neither yearn for nor vote for.
One observation. The China Defense Minister had release “Global Security Initiative” which calls for indivisible security with your neighboring countries. The concept is simple as that “you alone cannot be safe unless all your neighbors feel safe”. Just take one step back and think about this concept cool-headed. Though it looks like philosophical, but there is ancient wisdom in it as “harmony”.
Thanks Pascal and Professor Diesen for your insight on and discussions about the dilemma Europe and the global south are facing. The increasing number of countries are voicing out to call out the US government and their allies to stop hegemony by stirring up conflicts within/between regions and nations to benefit their 'military industrial complex companies' will one day coming to and end which the basic law of physics indictes - when one force going too strong toward one side will always face an equal or even greater force going the opposite direction. The de-dollarizing is a good indicator.
As an American, I am heartened by the close attention our war-making political system is beginning to receive from overseas observers. It has reached the point where American citizens are so heavily propagandized and traumatized, politics has become utterly bewildering and hopeless. We really could use help from people who live and work outside the American trauma matrix...
US politics is to a very large degree also world politics, since the US has such an absolutely outsized role in IR. Perks of being the hegemon. So we are all watching and biting our nails about what‘s happening in Washington.
American citizens are traumatized? Now, imagine being a citizen of a country america destroyed with your taxes.
@@Roland_Deschain I can scarcely imagine. No doubt our traumas have been of a lesser sort, but those who are trying to organize an internal upheaval of American imperialism are struggling to figure out how to accomplish that, largely due to traumatic events like 9/11, financial crises, school shootings and lesser-evil politics...
3000 died in 911 and translated to over 300000 deaths just in Iraq alone... all for a tube of washing powder
Thank you Professor Diesen, it's an education in itself listening to you.
I always enjoy Dr. Glenn Diesen's commentary. He is clear-thinking, knowledgeable, wise and communicates his views very clearly and concisely. Thank you for having Dr. Diesen on the show (again).
The intro at the beginning encapsulated it perfectly that there is no international law and principles only might is right man made rules.
Remembering history is the correct way of moving in a right direction for a country. One country can never progress in a correct way without understanding what happened in their history.
Think tanks have a revolving door with international consultancy firms, and they in turn have revolving doors with central and local governments around the world.
Consultancy firms have been encouraging staff to take up senior management positions in local and central governments to restructure management systems and policies to open up the local and central government income streams to global corporations and replace public servants with global corporate consultants to take over all functions of government. This reduces governments to becoming revenue collection agencies acting on behalf of global corporations. Governments become agencies that contract out functions of government to the private sector leaving governments with no actual capacity to protect the public interest.
10:40 "Why so many Europeans seemed to go along with it (US) ?" Well, if you have your most trusted friend across the Atlantic who eavesdrop all your govt officials' phone conversations all day long, wouldn't you think that one day those conversations (or phone clips) might be used against them? So I am not surprised that many European officials' privacy had already been compromised and joined the long list of "dumb" partner who are singing to the tune of Uncle Sam.
全都是民主黨的左派思想在腐敗這個世界，腐敗法治並且滲透進調查部門及司法部，司法獨立已經是

Fantastic show. Was glued to my phone. Thanks for your amazing work, Glenn.
I enjoy listening to this episode. I appreciate Professor Diesen's thoughtful insight. Now I need to subscribe to this channel and watch part 1 of this interview. 🙄Thank you, Pascal and Glenn for this important conversation.
Thanks for your good presentation ☺️
Tusen takk, Glenn Diesen!
Finally, a Norwegian who thinks outside of the American bubble around most Norwegians. I get it, though. A small nation needs protection, and Norway made the safer choice.
The only one you need protection from are the fools leading the EU..
Why would Russia or China want to attack Norway? What's the point?
When Has China ever told Norwegians how you should live or what values you should have?
The West are always forcing their values, ideology and political system onto the whole world, China doesn't do that..
When did China ever say, other countries must become communist? West forcing western democracy on everyone..
China has almost 0 influence on your life, but Europeans believe China is a threat and are scared of China... Makes no sense at all.
China is surrounded by 400 US military bases..
How many Chinese bases are surrounding your nation?
It's not China or Russia destroying the EU, it's the European leaders who do this..
So who is the real threat to Norway?
Excellent conversation, questions and answers. I hesitate to say it, but I wish people in the US were somehow forced to listen to these conversations and ideas.
Thank you very, very much. Great combination of healthy mind and humanity. Lot's of support for your work from Croatia. We know something about war..
Good to hear some sanity in an insane World !
I would like to share one metaphor best describing US and extendable to some European hypocrisy. The American dislike Chinese, neither do American like Muslim but American like so much for Chinese Muslim or Uyghur because American can use Uyghur to uproar or disturb China from within.
Very brilliant work by both, thanks. Would like to mention that "disaggregation of Europe" has been a US strategy since at least 1993 and would like to hear your views on this. Understandably, Britain wasn't mentioned but remains an aspirant international power. It has played a role in Ukraine since 2014 and from 2020 had a contract with Ukraine to build it a replacement navy. It works hand in glove with the US but there is tension in that relationship with the UK very much junior. Where is Britain Post Brexit going.?
Astute observation.
It seems to me that the narrative that the USA is trying to destroy Russia and China distracts attention from the fact that America's first target is Europe.
Brexit, in the sense understood by most of those who voted for it in the 2016 referendum, has never happened. Even the massively diluted Brexit-in-name-only occurred only after endless delays and obfuscations.
Totally agreed with Prof Glenn. Might is the supreme law.
Colonialism, imperialism, fascism, crony capitalism. New wrapping, same old shit : Might makes right. We fight with God .
Ironic that the words, "Supreme Law" is being used, Playing God?😮
So, the mightiest pedophile who murders parental figures and molests children is the "supremely lawful" (American/NATO crowed and Epstein)? Becareful with your wording. Conscience, and basic reason, demonstrates the opposite quite easily.
@@michaelmoore-ng7vt Let's hope for an acknowledged factor "Individual Nation Concerns".
One observation. China insisted from the very beginning that all member states, either funding one or late-joiner, of SCO and BRICS to have the same voting right and weight when decision needs to be made. I predict Russia and China will become firstly more interdependent geoeconomically then geopolitically towards the same goal as multipolarity.
A great informative discussion with Prof Diesen .. I've followed Prof John Merschimer realist views on TH-cam and the ideas of what we have for the present day in politics is a good presentation on the way to how the political views and the economic effects on the world.
Duplicit standpoints as mentioned in the intro as being unprincipled and imoral, is an actual strategy of power as later analysed and euphemized by Robert Greene in such books as 48 Rules of Power. In the cases of might is right resulting in such unprincipled behaviour, it is Rule Nr. 12: "Use selective honesty and generosity to disarm your victim."
By being selectively "generous/honest" and selectively "tough/duplicitous" the wielder of power introduces selective favoratism, a technique which is a signature move in divide and rule/conquer.
"Might is right", means that the strongest side gets to decide and impose.
It is in fact also a strategy to remain largely indifferent to moral values, resulting from a power imbalance in the "systems" in question.
"Might" in one system does not have to care what another system considers fair, or right.
"Right" is solely determined by the might of the wielder of power.
Very useful comment. I have found it amazing how naive state leaders appear in the face of clear hostile preparations by the US UK. I have seen it as (like with Putin) them wanting to join the club and be accepted. Your comments make sense of this.
@@casteretpollux Yes, around the turn of the century (2000), Russia was clearly being "led on" to believe that they could become a member of the elitist "Western Club".
Meanwhile, in the back rooms of power plans were drawn up to encroach on Russia with the expansion of the own systems, principally NATO, which would have caused a security issue for Moscow.
Might is never right but it often wears that disguise.
Fascinating conversation, gentlemen. Thank you!
Professor Diesen is right in using the term self-harm.
An excellent discussion, thank you!
Peace industrial economic trade complex.
What an excellent concept.
Great discussion! Love Glenn and Pascal. We need more of this objective discussion. Not MSM propaganda
Thank you very much for sharing Pascal Lottaz.
International rules based order means they make the rules and all countries have to follow except the one making the rule. One good example is the current UK partygate.
Excellent discussion. Enjoyed listening to Glenns take on the subject which was thorough for the time allowed.
Wonderful discussion, you know I started to question this so called international rules based order when I noticed how the west supported sessessionist movements that suited their agenda and interests... One clear example for me was in Africa,i am a firm believer in unity but not at any price... The 2 examples I will give from my continent are south Sudan and Nigeria. In the 1960's Nigeria went through a most brutal civil war in which the igbo tribe had attempted to secede from Nigeria as they alleged they were marginalised and discriminated against. The west especially Britain sided with the Nigerian government because it was viewed as a friendly state. The igbos did not succeed with their aim of breaking away, but it never died in the hearts of many igbos. Then we go to South sudan which used to be part of The Sudan as it was then called. The black African tribes in The Sudan who were mostly Christian and animist claimed intolerable discrimination from the Arab Muslims who had enslaved and mistreated them for centuries now rose up against the Arabs and waged a brutal civil war to separate fromThe Sudan... During this war America and many in the west sided with the black Africans because the regime in Khartoum was seen as a state sponsor of terror that had once given refuge to Osama bin laden, it was also seen as anti Jewish which clashed with American interests as Israel is a close ally of THE US. So the rules of territorial integrity did not apply here. What came into play was western superpower writ. The same west that drafted these rules are the ones undermining and destroying it.
The foundation of the rules is "liberal capitalism" = freedom for money, not humans. Today democratic governments use billions of taxpayers money on consultants. Big Business Consultants like McKibsey. They always advice governments to "focus on economic growth and privatization . China, Russia and many other countries have, in my view, proved focus on education/ health , stateownership of some natural resources + independent government (not corrupt or dependent on foreign consultants) might be a better way.
Divide and rule at the expense of its people, US and its Allies principle! Instead of helping to promote peace and understanding.
@@dannychan1342 Marxist fundamental tactics. Head on confrontation was recognized as failed strategy for change, infiltration of every aspect of culture became the long game strategy (intersectionality) & has been provenly effective in creating chaos which they hope to harness for radical change. Human emotions especially fear & hate have been weaponized.
US weaponizes social and economic grievances and divisions by funding and supporting secessionists and opposition leaders to weaken the governments it dislikes. It's subversion by CIA and NED. It has perfected this playbook over mure than a century in S America, Africa and Asia and still happening.
The US government is a bully with metastesized brain cancer.
Fabulous discussions!
Pascal, excellent question about the lack of counter think-tanks. That’s a trillion dollar question.
And yes, European leaders are stupid and happy to be subservient to Washington and be manipulated.
The US ruling elites, think-tanks and academia are intoxicated and hopelessly addicted to
world hegemony and all the fat and trimmings that come with it. They’ve literally gone mad.
Our only hope is for the partnership of China and Russia to succeed in realizing a better and fairer vision of the world. This is just a start but an excellent start nonetheless.
The picture will be clearer in a couple of years. If and when BRICS expands to include influential countries from the middle east and Asia, that would be a huge leap forward. When that happens, many European countries will jump ship. That will spell the end of the US empire. Thank God! And I’m speaking as an American.
China is never going to behave like the US empire and the west. Hegemonic tendencies are not in China’s DNA , not in China’s 5,000 years of civilization. China’s guiding philosophies come from Confusion teachings, which is all about harmony, unity, order and being respectful.
Fully agree with your analysis 👍👍👍
"War is a racket", & so are "charitable" foundations & think tanks. $$$ uber alles. "Rules based Order" is US version of "My way or the Highway", flagrantly disregards International Law.
@barrywong4327: and a very good analytical answer from Professor Glenn Diesen about counter think-tank.
The CCP is also an evil empire.
Oh ya totally! They are definitely not a barbarous, murderous totalitarian communist dictatorship bent on global domination they way they explicitly state in their media. And they would never seize other countries territory like the 9-line by which they lay claim over the sovereign territory of over 9 nations and they would never commit genocide in order to sell their organs on the black market like they do to the Wuigers and Folun Gung or House Cristian etc…. Chinese Gummistiefel party is the picture of a perfect harmonious state. Mass murder and territorial aggression aside.
Fyah, the best geopolitics conversation in the political debate I have seen so far
Superb, wonderful and very remarkable
I’ll make it simple , justice must be served! Meaning all US war criminals must be brought to justice and when found guilty capital punishment served !
That’s international law for all!
Great discussion, much food for thought. Thanks
If you are doing business and your only supplier tell you that suddenly it will not transact with you unless you follow what they recommend, minding your management style, what should one do? It's a lot better to have several suppliers for comparison of price, quality and reciprocity!
Professor Glen Diessen is an educator indeed...
Glen is right only honest people sre able to anderstand him.
Thanks for putting that highlight first, since it was a gem
Excellent discussion. Sadly, we live in the time of technocratic American certainty. Maybe if we in the West were a little more humble we could learn a thing or two from the Chinese proverb of "we'll see."
I dunno man. China had their chances already, for 2000 years.
It's not in China's interest to lead, never has been.
A must read book if one wanted freedom and sovereignty!
Wise words. Shows up hypocrisy of USA and allies geopolitics .
Great interview and discourse
Very good interview
20:21 not since the industrial revolution. in asia, it has been the case since way, way before that. asia before european colonial times has been trading internationally and has had to manage with both the supportive and coercive influence of that commercial influence for centuries before that. it’s not new to our cultures, and is why we have settled quickly and readily back into it as multipolarity dawns.
Excellent video! Cheers!
Excellent discussion.
Brilliant! Thank you!

The mighty power rules for the imperial/colonial western nations is the past now........❤❤❤🎉🎉🎉😂😂😂
Excellent discussion, many thanks.
Superb!
I remember an ardent pro Ukraine American man yelling: " The USA is not perfect but it has never taken foreign territory as evil Russia is doing now!!". Really? The USA stole more than half of México's territory....

Well done thanks
Excellent Presentation
Came here for Glen 👍👍 & subbed!
peace and trade isn't that what China/Russia/Brix + are working towards now? as a business model peace as profit seems to be growing
So you want no alternative to the horrendous crimes n exploitation of your criminal nation
Perfect! I enjoyed it soon much. Pragmatic to the bone. Thank you, and all the best. Subscription added. 😁
It isnt 90 percent of population of Crimea that want to join Russia, it's 96 percent. They also held a referendum with this result. Twice. No rederendum was held in Kosovo.
90 or 96 percent, it's pretty close. lol
Great discussion
It should be called "ruler based order" ...
Humanitarian interventions: Austria, Czechoslovakia 1938, Poland 1939; Denmark, Norway, Belgium, Netherlands, Luxemburg, France 1940; Yugoslavia, Greece, Russia 1941.
I always Lough when low quality US politician and administration talk about rule based international law 😢😮😅😂
I'va always seen the 'rules based order' as the US rules based order.
I'd like to see them finally publish these "rules" so that we can all read and analyse them.
It is just a recent construct made by the americans because they can't claim it as the international order. they also obviously want people to confuse the two (rules based order and international order) for their benefit, thus you hear them combining the tow and now calls them international rules-based order. Given enough time, people will assume they are one and the same.
Thanks professor diesnen follow your lecturer for many years special on Peter lavell show.
It is critical that all cultures verbalise not only their values but also legalise their - non-negotiables.
Very taught full disclosure Prof diesen.
Thank you very much
0:33 If you would see the mighty interest as a Motorcycle Club and you happen to share a backyard with them,
then your agreement will be heavily "relation based", you go along well as long as your interests do not collide.
If you would begin playing loud music 24/7 and the motorcycle club complains and tells you to cease playing music between hours 4pm to 8am and you disregard the wish, then you may find the club will devise a measure to have you stop violating their imposed rule, regardless of what rules some landlord may have set up for the matter. That club may decide to eradicate you if nothing else works. So the label for the video looks incomplete according to what Glenn Diesen is saying,
he points at a third factor here ;"Might is Right".
And I suggest that is a major key to negotiating peace settlements, where most debating parties insist on a deaf ear and will refuse to accept such concerns.
True relations that work need to take nation specific demands into account but good if they can be formulated into writing.
Might is Right may be given a name to describe "Individual Nation Concerns".
A Rules Based Order seems aimed at being valid for several countries but nothing seems to exist that acknowledges the unique security concerns of each INDIVIDUAL country. Russia could for example require that Ukraine remain neutral. And for them this is very important, even of existential nature. Such fundamental nation individual requirements must be given a name and be acknowledged as important since acknowledging such concerns may be key to avoiding conflicts and coming to lasting agreements that benefit global harmony.
Dr lottaz brilliant thanks.
World people have to understand, business corporations or their own countries! Which comes first....
America or yourself!
International Law died in 1999 when NATO attack Serbia without UN permission and than took Kosovo from serbia despite the UN resolution 1244 in which NATO and Serbia agreed to Serbian army retreat and Kosovo remains part of Serbia. So now West play double standard.
MIC is sometimes a "secondary" source of funding for MIC think tanks. Because their influence is so big, they can offer "protection". For example, many so-called Ukrainian oligarchs contributed generously to outfits like Atlantic Council, even though they are typically money grubbers with no profits explicitly connected to military, but they can be sanctioned or not, and if "sanctioned", the vigor can vary. Similarly with individuals from Gulf states etc. For similar reason, when a state like Qatar or Malaysia wants to get some favorable decisions, they hire lobbyists that are AIPAC alumni, hence proven track record of influence. Of course, weapon purchases by Gulfies are in part buying influence from MIC directly, a complicated eco-system of money streams.
What has America done to I Khan and Pakistan media Blackout?
Every countries have past historical skelet9ns. Now mainly Europeans, Americans and Japanese forget their past. Same with Taiwanese.
Very good work
Noam Chomsky: manufactured consents. That’s geopolitics of the day.
YESS, MIGHT IS RIGHT !! it's been the way all along.
Professor Diesen is Correct!!!!
I've learnt something here that was really good
Wonderful calming voices of reason. People elsewhere spitting hate
Very Good comment! I buy it!
It's just fancy words like 'Quantitative Easing' that mran I make the rules...forget the International Law.
Even 'International Waters' that don't apply to Taiwan Strait become Freedom of Passage...whatever US say.
