      If you ever talk about an international community, these are the only countries that actually COMMUNE. Almost all the rest are too involved with themselves to have a diplomatic strategy beyond their narrow short-term self interest. That’s also why that’s the only international community that matters. That’s not a tone deaf world view, that’s the reality.

        No, these are the only countries that destabilised entire continents to get what they wanted in the last few centuries and now they wash their hands off of them. The countries that are left behind are still trying to clean the shit up the West has created.

          They exist, many organizations exist, but they are only a collection of countries each looking for its own short sighted benefits.

              Sure they do, but I’m not into nitpicking specific situations or argue about edge cases.

              They don’t really like each other, mostly they see themselves as competitors and their treaties are situational, worth nothing except in the best of times when everything is going well for everyone.

                Edge cases? Are you serious? Since when does the U.S. give a shit about anyone but the U.S.?

                And saying that the U.S. respects its treaties shows a laughable ignorance of history.
