Mark Carney essentially said that the liberal rules based world order was a convenient lie everyone went along with because American hegemony opened up markets and sea lanes for them. (www.weforum.org)

The Gaza situation is basically all you need to know about how "rules based" the world order really was. If the rules cant even be applied to a piece of land the size of a city, then all hope is lost.

Palestine is much more than Gaza, but I think that's part of your larger point. Venezuela. Cuba. Mexico. Korea. Vietnam. Iraq. Multiple African states. Brazil. Argentina. Operation Paperclip.

So many I didn't mention. Iran.

I think that's the "lie" part of the parable.
