The fight against sov union is both a pretext for a lot of intervention, but also a check on it as well. In the 19 nineties and of course, into the two thousands, this is really the moment you see a birth of kind of humanitarian intervention. The defensive posture around state sovereignty can also be dangerous in so far as it does scure real forms of domination interin domestic societies. Which goes a little bit to explaining why both, obviously, imperialism is so unsettling, but also certain attacks on it can seem weird too.
