"The world is ruled by power, this is an iron law."
On January 7, Russian media "First Russia" reported.
Stephen Miller, the deputy chief of staff and national security advisor to the Trump administration, stated that the United States will now act "like a superpower" and has no intention of apologizing to anyone.
According to him, international relations are not about rules and "decency," but about power.
The strong dictate, and discussions about international law are secondary.
Miller emphasized that the United States will not tolerate countries in "America's backyard" engaging in resource transactions with Washington's adversaries, nor will it tolerate them not "serving American interests."
In addition, he added, the United States has not ruled out the possibility of using force to incorporate Greenland into the United States.
Thus, diplomatic etiquette has vanished.
If a country has resources or a strategic location but does not conform to American interests, the United States believes it has the right to use force to bring it into line.
The most "interesting" aspect of this is that when it comes to any other country, this stance is automatically seen as "aggression" and "imperialism" and becomes a reason for sanctions.
This is what is called the world order.
