International rules based order to U.S.: Our way or highway



The U.S. loves to portray itself as the guardian of the ‘international rules based order.’ We can bomb any country, we can sanction any country, we can toss out negotiated agreements at will in order to preserve it.
Essentially, it is the arrogance of unlimited U.S. power, both militarily and financially, to ruin any country that does not toe our line of American exceptionalism. 
Ask the Afghans, subjected to 20 years of war over the 911 attacks even tho most of the planning was done in other countries and most of the financial and moral support came from Saudi Arabia.
Ask the Iraqis who got rid of their nuclear program but bombed into a failed state nonetheless by ruthless American warmongers.
Ask the Syrians, who were on the brink of ending their civil war in 2013 till U.S. intervened on behalf of jihadists, prolonging the war and adding another hundred thousand dead.  
Ask the Libyans, who also got rid of their nuclear program and were also turned into a failed state by U.S. lust to remove leader Ghaddafi.  
Ask the Yemenis, being bombed and blockaded into starvation and rubble by Saudi Arabia with Uncle Sam’s bombs and good cheer.
Ask the Iranians. Murderous regime change in 1953 was not enough. We’ve abrogated the best peace saving measure this century, the 5 + 1 nuclear agreement, to change out the current Iranian regime.
Ask the Ukrainians, subjected to near failed state status by U.S. backed coup in 2014 that has led to tens of thousands of deaths and loss of Crimea due to fanatical Ukrainian nationalists we still support.
Ask the Cubans, subjected to invasion in 1961 to overturn the Cuban revolution. When that failed the U.S. continued to its inhumane embargo for seven decades now to punish the Cubans for not doing U.S. bidding.
There is more…but I think you get the drift.
