“Thus, it should be understood that when pro-US figures use the term, 'rules-based international order,' they are not referring to anything analogous to the rule of law. Quite the opposite, they are using Orwellian language to describe a system in which essentially no rules can be established and/or observed, given that the dominant state has the prerogative to violate and/or rewrite “rules” at its whim.” Aaron Good, American Exception
"Whoever wishes to come with me, let them put aside their own selfish interests, and take up their cross, and follow me.
For whosoever wills to keep their life for themselves shall lose it; but whosoever puts aside their life for My sake, and that of the Gospel, shall save it.
What therefore is the profit in it, if you gain the whole world, but lose your self?"
Mark 8:34-36
