Many things are above my pay grade, but my take on the view of the ghouls of the Blob, beyond the simple fact that many of them (including some of your faves!)are funded by the worst regimes in the world, directly or indirectly, is that some people matter, and they are people, and some people don't, and therefore they aren't really people.
That's the true "rules-based order" simple-minded pundits and politicians like to babble about. Those are the rules.
You don't have to have a particularly strong view of any given development or conflict to see that's obviously true.
Not just with "foreign policy" and The Blob I suppose.
