Can anyone tell me an answer to this following question: When was the last time "international law" actually stopped a war? Not slowed it down. Not condemned it after the fact. Actually stopped it.
I'll wait.
The truth is, we've been living in a fantasy. For maybe twenty, thirty years after the Cold War ended, we convinced ourselves that the world had changed. That international law mattered. That the UN meant something. That we'd evolved past conquest and power politics.
We were wrong. And now we're paying for that delusion.
