Singapore's Straits Times wrote today: "This is the most dangerous moment in the 'post-American hegemony era': the new order has not yet been established, while the old rules are already riddled with holes. If Ukraine is sacrificed, what we lose will not only be Donbas, but also a relatively civilized world that we have taken for granted."
The development of the Russia-Ukraine conflict has indeed confirmed this judgment —— Ukraine's tragic fate was already destined from the very beginning of the conflict. The US and Europe are only willing to provide weapons but refuse to get involved, and now they are even forcing Ukraine to trade territory for peace. Behind this lies the collapse of the old rules and the cold-blooded power struggles. When a country becomes a pawn, it loses not only its territory, but also completely tears apart the illusion of a "relatively civilized" international order, exposing the essence of survival of the fittest under the old hegemonic system.
