I think this starts the unravelling of the great peace we've lived with for the last 50 years. If everything is now fair game, globalization is now going to take a huge hit.

Crimea, Taiwan, Kashmir, Sudan/Egypt, South China Sea.

Once the illusion of protocol is gone, we are right back to might is right.

So glad I dont have kids.

Great peace in the last 50 years? ๐Ÿ˜‚ Okay

Totally agree. Talking more about illusion of great peace. As a former UN worker, shit has been bad for ages but normal people are only feeling it now.

Lol, imagine thinking the ultraminority of the planet are "normal people".
