Historically the Rule of Law was instituted to protect the weak....not the King
and its the same today. The USA is not a party to the Law of the Sea or the ICC
simply because it is powerful but middle /non-nuke powers like Aus is!

NATO is dominated by the USA. Up to 1991 the USSR was the USA mortal
enemy and, IMO, little has changed since . During the 1990s & Zeros Russia
was recovering economically from the impact of the dissolution of the USSR
but post the GFC it started to recover due to its income from oil & Gas.During
the 1990s the USA expected Russia (as it did China) to become a mini USA
that could be exploited by US Capital & US Multinationals. Putin put an end to
that pipe dream just like Xi put an end to the US China pipe dream.

Two years ago the US was doing all in its power to stop Nord Stream 2 in order
to stymie Russia's economic growth . This was tantamount to an economic "act of war"
given Russia's economy being petro-dependant. The Ukraine War has permanently
scotched Nord Stream 2 as well as crippling all Russian petro sales to the West.

And the winner is.........wait for it............CHINA!

The USA is using its economic clout to stymie China's growth too and it will be interesting to see
how that pans out. Will a China/Russia consortium be strong enough (Russia with Nukes & Resources
& China with its economic/industrial might) to repel the US and its allies or will the US , like the
British Empire before it, shrink into insignificiance over time....wars or no wars ?
