The rules based order was concocted by the USA immediately
post WW2:
The UN
The IMF
The World Bank
The USD Global Reserve Status
etc etc etc.
In practice, however, the principle of
"No country can bolster its National Security
at the expense of another; particularly if
that "another" is a Nuke Power Neighbour.
My post above challenges that principle...ie:
That if its OK or the Ukraine to bolster its
national Security by joining NATO then
why is it not OK for say Cuba or Venezuela
to join the SCO and have Chinese/Russian
WMDs based in their respective countries
for national security purposes ?
The principles that apply to the Ukraine
joining NATO in this instance, apply to
Cuba and Venezuela joining the SCO
(Shanghai Cooperation Organisation)
(source Wikipedia)
IMO the SCO + BRI + BRICS will eventually challenge the
US Rules Based Order and with it the role of the USA as
being the global policeman and the role of the USD as
the Global Reserve Currency.
This Ukrainian War has to be looked at in this context
and it has simply accelerated the process so while the
Ukrainian war was a win for expanding NATO membership,
it also accelerated the China led SCO, BRICS, SCO development
and with it the formation of an international trading system
excluding the USD and related institutions.(eg SWIFT etc)
