What Does Rules-Based Order Mean?
Some people think the term “rules-based order” is a nonsense expression made up to rationalize and excuse the agenda of the U.S. and its NATO puppets. Nothing could be further from the truth. While not specifically called by that name, the concept of rules-based order has been around since the earliest moments of recorded history. The Achaeans made use of a primitive sort of rules-based order in their decade-long siege of Troy. It was used by Attila the Hun as well as the Mongol Hordes. It was an idea beloved by George Armstrong Custer as he marched his troops into Indian Territory, and it was used by Blackbeard the Pirate throughout his illustrious career.
The term rules-based order as it is used today, simply stated, means that the U.S. makes the RULES and ORDERs the rest of the world around. In order to avoid being on the receiving end of the rules and the orders, it is wise that you permit the U.S. to build a military BASE in your country.
More specifically, though, rules-based order means that the U.S. and its lackeys…er, allies, can hijack a yacht or an oil tanker if they deem it appropriate. (In case you are wondering, China cannot.) It…er, they, reserve the right to interfere in any other nation’s election, to instigate an insurrection should the election not go their way, and to bomb said country should the insurrection fail to take hold (In case you are wondering, Russia is not permitted to engage in such behavior).
Rules based order means it is within the purview of the U.S. to arm terrorists, Nazis, and cannibals (I’m not joking, follow the links provided). It gives the U.S. the right to occupy Syria’s oil fields and farm fields. Because rules-based order. It gives the U.S. the right to use sanctions to starve children or give birth defects to them using weapons with depleted uranium.
Rules based order means if you’re on good terms with the order that makes the rules, you can chop up a journalist or shoot one in the face and then beat up the pall bearers of the murdered journalist. If you’re the ones actually making the rules, you can have a journalist from another country arrested and imprisoned for years — perhaps a lifetime — for the crime of telling the truth.
Rules-based order means immunity from the International Criminal Court. It means punishment for those in non-aligned nations for small crimes and impunity for those in aligned nations for large crimes.
Rules-based order is when an empire forms a military alliance with a bunch of white neo-colonialist nations in order to protect themselves against non-white people even though their countries haven’t been attacked in the last millennia by anyone other than themselves.
Rules-based order means you can create biological research facilities in pretty much any country on the planet. It means you can put military bases on every continent on the planet. You can tell how rules-based a country is by how many military bases it has in countries that are not its own.
Rules-based order makes you the world police officer. And you don’t have to wear a body camera or read anyone their rights.
I could provide you with plenty more examples but the truth is, while it definitely has rules, nobody knows exactly what they are. And while it is undeniably based on something, other than power it’s hard to say what. And while it more than anything revolves around order, said order seems to change according to need.
And there you have it my friends, a quick and simple explanation for a term you’re likely to encounter anytime you hear a U.S. government official discussing foreign policy. And if you’re not satisfied with my definition, could you please tell me what the hell it actually means?
