"Once upon a time, the United States at least went through the pretense of seeking to adhere to a rules-based order. In the 2022 National Security Strategy document published by the administration of President Joe Biden, the United States gave lip service to the importance of defending “the basic laws and principles governing relations among nations, including the United Nations Charter and the protection it affords all states from being invaded by their neighbors or having their borders redrawn by force.”
But the reality was that the United States was more concerned about the rules-based international order—a system “institutions, norms, and standards to govern international trade and investment, economic policy, and technology” created at the end of the Second World War that “advanced America’s economic and geopolitical aims and benefited people around the world by shaping how governments and economies interacted—and did so in ways that aligned with US interests and values.”
The primary goal of the United States at that time was simple: preserving this “free, open, prosperous, and secure international order.”
But it turned out that the rules based international order was a fraud—something those who went along with it were fully cognizant of."
