    The point is, that rules based system - as flawed as it may be - represents a check against those countries I list currently trying to annex new lands by force.

      The point is, there is no rules based order. The rules only apply to the global south, the US has explicitly stated they will bomb or invade The Netherlands if the ICC ever prosecutes a US citizen. It’s just another cynical tool of power projection.
